Email Server Settings
If you do not have a dedicated email server for corresponding with buyers, you can specify an email
server (such as Gmail or Yahoo!) to send email correspondence to external recipients from Digital
StoreFront.
If you need help setting up your SMTP server, see To set up the local SMTP server below.

To set up the local SMTP server
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Your local SMTP server, which you will set up here,
enables email messages from Digital StoreFront to be relayed to a mail server for delivery.
1. Open the IIS Administration Tool on your Digital StoreFront server.
The IIS Administration Tool can typically be accessed through the following path: Start >
Control Panel > Administration Tools > Internet Information Services. The exact properties of the
tool will vary according to the version of the Windows operating system you are running.
2. From the IIS Administration tool, select the Default SMTP Virtual Server.
