Welcome to part 14 in a series of posts which describe how to create a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007) Virtual PC image for demos and development work. Last time, we looked at how to configure the MOSS 2007 search service which resides inside the SSP. This time, we’ll look at how to configure the MOSS 2007 outgoing e-mail settings.
Part 14: Configuring Outgoing E-mail
If the SharePoint Central Administration website isn’t already open, select Start > Administrative Tools > SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, click the Operations tab:
On the Operations page, click the Outgoing e-mail settings link, located below the Topology and Services heading:
On the Outgoing E-mail Settings page, enter the following information, then click the OK button:
Outbound SMTP server: SERVERNAME (VPC02, in this case)
From address: Administrator@yourdomain (Administrator@mycompany.loc, in this case)
Reply-to address: Administrator@yourdomain (Administrator@mycompany.loc, in this case)
You should now have properly configured MOSS 2007 outgoing e-mail settings.
In Part 15, we’ll look at how to create the MOSS 2007 portal.
