SMTP Question
-
I have just finished my first ever Wed Site, but not yet hosted it. Was thinking of using KF Server to host the site on my home PC. Is this a good idear? Or would it be best to when I buy my domain name have it hosted on there sever. The next question I have is regarding sending out e-mails (via my 'Contact Us' page). I was going to use AspEmail, but looking at the documentation, what do I specifify for the following field?
Mail.Host = "smtp.mycompany.com" ' RequiredMy ISP is BTinternet.com, so should it be smtp.BTinternet.com? Or do I install a mail server! Any comments please. -

When sending mail you specify the same smtp server as you do in your mail program. You should have the address of the server in the information you got from your ISP. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Thanks for your post. Just two more questions if you please. 1. Are dynamic domain names more difficult to get hold off. I was going to use www.noip.com to register one. 2. If I test out my Wed site on another PC on my LAN, with just hotmail availble, what would I specify for the smto server - the same as for the Gateway PC? Many thanks, grahamfff
