Communications Outbound Manager need an email server name?
We have some VB code similar to the following sample below. In the VB code, we send out emails using the vanilla Outbound Communications Manager business service. The SendSmtpMessage method has only one required parameter (FromAddress). We also supply the "MsgToList" to specify the email recipient, the email body, and the email subject.
Outbound Communications Manager doesn't seem to need the SMTP server name to connect to ("SMTPServer").
How does Outbound Comm Manager know where/how to send the email? We use Microsoft Outlook 2003, so does the Siebel server need Outlook installed on it for this to work? If the Siebel server where Outbound Comm Manager is running has an email client installed on it, does it just grab whatever that Outlook instance has for defaults?
