Microsoft SMTP Server

What is Microsoft SMTP Server?

The integrated SMTP email functionality in IIS allows developers to easily incorporate email delivery capabilities into their web applications. This server-side feature supports both real-time email transmission as well as the ability to queue messages for later delivery, providing flexibility to meet various application requirements. For example, a company can offer an email contact form on their website, allowing users to submit feedback or request information, with the messages handled seamlessly through the IIS SMTP configuration. Whether sending emails immediately or storing them for batch processing, this built-in IIS functionality streamlines the email integration process for web-based applications
