How can i know the correct smtp server name ? any ideas ?! Thanks |
One answer
did you add 'smtp.localhost.com' to your local hosts file or DNS server?
the DNS (name resolver) is stupid.. it looks in the hosts file, or asks the defined DNS server 'tell me the number for this name'... if the server doesn't know, there is no guessing.. so, just change it to localhost, or 127.0.0.1 or update the hosts file. Comments @sam: thanks alot for reply , sorry , where ican i find the local hosts file ??! On Windows, this file is in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
@ Anthony : thanks alot for your response , but i wonder if i shall add new entery after that 127.0.0.1 local host ?? and if yes so which IP shall i use before smtp.localhost.com ?? |
