email form

Hi,

I hope, that this question can be replied "in general":

Does any simple contact-form within a website can run, when windows
smtp-service is disabled on the specific webserver?

The problem is, that I cannot activate smtp-service, since a different one
is already running.

Thanks for your hint.

regards
Patrick

Re: email form

Hi,

I suppose it depends on what configuration possibilites you have in the
code, but in general, contact-forms can use any SMTP server (local or
remote).

If you are asking if you can substitute IIS SMTP service with another one
running locally, it should work for all contact-forms. In general, they
establish a connection to the SMTP server, and in that case, it does not
matter if it is a third-party SMTP server or not.
