OK I have a web app which relies on SMTP to send email alerts.
I've added the SMTP feature and when I open IIS Manager (6) I can see SMTP in a started state.

What should I add to the SMTP config re server address?

Bear in mind SMTP and web app which generates alerts are on the same machine.

Thanks!
 
if you configured with defaults, try telnetting to port 25 on the server to see if its responding OK

If it is, you just need to configure your web app to use smtp, most likely with localhost as the hostname and port 25, maybe authentication as well

localhost? or you could use an external email host but depends on what the app may like and what config it uses e.t.c.
