There is a free e-mail service at mail.softhome.net. It provides smtp and pop3 services. You can use this for testing if you want.


I tried but I was unable to obtain a free account. Furthermore, the problem is probably related to your SMTP server's authentication method. There are many methods and ELOG only supports a subset. So I would have to try with your specific SMTP server. So the only recommendation I can give you is to find an SMTP server without authentication. That one will certainly work with elog.




Dear all WINDOWS users,

Good news.
you can send email to any SMTP server with authentification !!! Just install component Windows IIS (Internet Information Services). You need the Windows Professional installation CD to install it.

How it works:
ELOG -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> SMTP with authentification (your email provider/ company mail server)


How to configurate Default SMTP Virtual Server:

Right mouse click on icon My Computer -> Manage
Expand Services and Apllications -> IIS
Right mouse click on Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Properties
Select Delivery tab
Click the button Outbound Security ->Select Basic authentification and enter your user/password which you got from your Email-provider/Company -> OK
Click the button Advanced... -> type your SMTP host in the fields "smart host" and "Full-qualified... ", i.e. smtp.gmx.net

(Don't forget to check the tab Access -> Connection and Relay buttons -> Select "All accept the list")



How to configurate your Elog.cfg file:
SMTP host = xxxx

Normally xxxx is your personal computer name by right click on the icon "My Computer" -> Properties -> Tab "Computer Name"
OR
xxxx: the name what you see by expand Services and Apllications -> IIS -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Domains -> Domain Name


GOOD LUCK
