Remote SMTP Server

To send to an SMTP server or Exchange on another machine, you should set the IP address to the IP of the machine running the mail server. If Hexamail POP3 Downloader and your mail server are both on the same LAN, then this will typically be an address of the form 192.168.x.y. Alternatively you can set the hostname to be the LAN machine name, or fully qualified hostname if on a WAN. The port should be the port your existing mailserver is using, typicaly port 25 (SMTP). Only use another port setting if you are sure that your mailserver is not using the standard SMTP port 25. Once setup you also need to direct incoming SMTP email traffic to go to Hexamail POP3 Downloader instead of your mailserver. This can be done at your router/firewall using NAT (direct all incoming port 25 TCP traffic (SMTP) to the machine running $productname$. Alternatively you may need to configure your MX entries to direct incoming SMTP traffic to the Hexamail POP3 Downloader machine. Your ISP or domain hosting service will be able to help with this.
