The question was not on how to do it but what is the smtp server name that needs to be used in configuring the SMTP server . It is easy in Windows also using internet tool kit provided there is a smtp server available to send mail thru. Now even free servers like yahoo have stopped acces to smtp server from outside yahoo mail

For Windows try:

http://www.postcastserver.com

http://www.softstack.com/advsmtp.html

Also, if you have a copy of NT Server or Win2k Server you can use the SMTP server included in Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS)

Good Luck,

Jim

OK it is not a labview problem but a lan problem .
My only experience is with a SMTP server which is in my local network .

What I am looking for is the following:

I use internet tool kits high level email VIs such as SMTP send mail etc. For this to work I need an smtp server to be configured. See attached VIs. If I am using an ISP, for example earthlink, what do I enter for the smtp mail server control?

Thanks

To use the SMTP VIs you need to know the computer name or IP address of the computer running the SMTP server. If you signed up with earthlink then the SMTP server is probably "mail.earthlink.net" or "smtp.earthlink.net". If you install one of the SMTP servers I listed in my answer, you would simply enter "localhost" as the SMTP server. You need to ask your ISP what your SMTP servers name is.

Good Luck,
