Find your SMTP Address

You must know your SMTP server address to configure ACS to send emails.

An SMTP address displays in one of the following formats:
  • As a series of numbers, such as 213.109.213.098
  • As a descriptive location, such as microsoft.mailserver.com
  1. Open the Run window.
  2. Type CMD, and click OK. The Windows Command Prompt application opens.
  3. Type ping smtp.mysite.com.
  4. If this returns an error, type ping mail.mysite.com instead.
Your SMTP address is listed directly after the word Pinging.

Once you have determined your SMTP address, you can return to configuring ACS to send e-mails.

If you have trouble determining your SMTP address, contact your Internet service provider.
