Dedicated Micros DS2 Email config

[dewalty 0]

Hi,

 

1st post, so I hope I get this right!

 

Recently got a ds2, have got all of the functions I need working except the email. Ive searched in here for smtp setup but I didnt find anything.

Does anyone else know how it should be setup?

 

As the unit is at home, there is no dedicated email server. I have the smtp address of outgoing email from my isp, but this isnt in the form of an IP.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone taking timeout to reply.

 

Cheers

 

Jay

Go to the command promt in your computer, and ping your smtp server. It should resolve it to the IP address for you.

Nice work Sir Flannel

 

In fact what was needed was the DNS server of the router that the ds2 was connected to.

 

So for future searches:-

 

at the c: prompt type ipconfig/all make a note of your DNS server. This is then entered into the delivery address, with DNS ticked.

 

All I need now is a email address that sends sms notification of receipt of tagged emails.
