SMTP Server

I am working on a WinXP Pro SP2 machine. I set up & configured a SMTP
virtual server in IIS 5.1 successfully but how do I send & receive e-
mails using this SMTP virtual server?

For e.g. I have a Yahoo e-mail ID. When I login to the Yahoo website
using my username & password, I can send & receive mails using my
Yahoo e-mail ID but how do I do the same using the SMTP virtual
server? How does it help me send & receive e-mails?

Also when I send e-mails from an ASP or ASP.NET app using my Yahoo e-
mail ID, are these e-mails delivered to recipients via this SMTP
virtual server?

Thanks

Hi,

You use SMTP to send email and POP3 to receive email, so SMTP locally on
your machine would only be to send email from your website. With that being
said, most ISPs don't let you send email from port 25 on your local machine,
they require you to send it through their SMTP server.
