I'm architecting a web service where users can update, for example, a blog by sending an email. What's a good email server for Windows for this? Any other advice / examples appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
Windows Server has built in SMTP, if it meets your needs.

while looking at past questions, it seems like if I wanted to mail from localhost I would be able to use a gmail account through google's smtp service. However as of may 2022 it is no longer possible for external apps to use my google account: 1
Seemed like all information online was focused on using google's smtp on xampp, so I was wondering if anyone had a updated method they used for emailing from localhost?
Thanks in advance!
As the title mentions, I've got a question regarding the possibility of implementing the on send event functionality on the outlook PC client.
I current got an add-in running that blocks sending emails on the outlook WEB variant properly and allows sending them when the criteria is met. I've used the examples the microsoft documentation provides to get it to work. This example however doesn't work on the outlook PC (windows) client. Other functionality works just fine on the outlook PC client, it's just the on send not functioning. All I get on the outlook PC client is the error "[add-in name] couldn't complete. Please try sending this message later" upon pressing send.
Been looking at this for the past few days and based on all the microsoft documentation it gives me the impression that it should be possible, but I can't find any examples online or anyone really verifying it either. Which bring us to my question as I mentioned at the start;
Is it possible to make the outlook on send event work on the outlook PC client as well? And if so, does anyone have an example of how to do so?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, the on-send feature for Outlook add-ins is supported in certain versions of Outlook win-32. There is documentation here about which versions are supported and some code examples.
I managed to fix my issue.
So to recap; when running the nodejs server locally, the on send didn't appear to work for the outlook pc client. (It did for outlook web)
What I did was put the code on an external server and ran the nodejs. Then I created an IIS website with https and redirecred it towards the localhost port of the nodejs server.
After doing this and installing the manifest through the URL the issue no longer persisted for the pc client and worked exactly the same as the outlook web variant.
I am new, so I cannot add comments - but keep in mind that if you plan to put your add-in into AppSource - the doc says it will be banned: you are not allowed to use the OnSend event for anything in there.
I hope this helps you avoid some pain if you had those plans!
" Important. Add-ins that use the on-send feature aren't allowed in AppSource. "

Is it possible to connect to Office365 server and use UCWA (ucwa.skype.com/) with Skype for Business now?
I want to use this example https://www.matthewproctor.com/Send-An-IM-With-UCWA-Creating-the-Application/ but I don't know which server I can use to connect...
Looks like this capability was announced at BUILD 2016. There is documentation on how get it running here.
No, as also stated in the UCWA wiki page here, or on official web site http://ucwa.skype.com
UCWA isn't available yet for Office 365, but only for on-premises Lync / S4B installation
I developed an OMS web service by following guidelines at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff606754.aspx.
Whenever I tried to configure the SMS account in Outlook I get following error.
"Outlook did not receive a response from the Web service because of a problem connecting to the server. try again later."
Although it does create the account, and whenever I try to send sms the same error occurs but I receive the sms as well. That means outlook can send the message to my web service but why it is giving error?
Searched a lot on this topic but no one seems to have a solution.
Greatly appreciate if someone could help.
Thanks in advance.
You should check how to send SMS from Outlook Mobile Service (Outlook 2007) with Ozeki NG SMS Gateway:

I hope it helps. The support team is also very responsive.

I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
