Configure outgoing email in SharePoint Foundation 2010


This article describes how to configure outgoing e-mail for a farm or for a specific Web application for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010. This article also describes how to install and configure the SMTP service that you must use to enable outgoing e-mail.
In this article:
To install the SMTP service
To install IIS 6.0 Management tools
To configure the SMTP service
To set the SMTP service to start automatically
To configure outgoing e-mail for a farm by using Central Administration
To configure outgoing e-mail for a farm by using the Stsadm command-line tool
To configure outgoing e-mail for a specific Web application by using Central Administration
To configure outgoing e-mail for a specific Web application by using the Stsadm command-line tool
After you have installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 and performed the initial configuration of your server farm, you can configure outgoing e-mail. Doing so enables users to create alerts to track such site items as lists, libraries, and documents. In addition, site administrators can receive administrative messages about site administrator issues, such as the information that site owners have exceeded their specified storage space. For more information, see Plan outgoing e-mail (SharePoint Foundation 2010) [ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287948.aspx ] .
If you want to configure outgoing e-mail for a specific Web application, you must first configure the default outgoing e-mail for all Web applications in the farm. If you configure the outgoing e-mail for a specific Web application, that configuration will override the default configuration for all Web applications in the farm. Note:
You cannot configure outgoing e-mail by using Windows PowerShell.
