Editing Starting and Stopping SMTP on Dev Server (section)

==Starting SMTP==
===Server-side code===
Make sure the code is using the development SMTP server<br />
e.g. in <code>Web.config</code>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml" highlight="3">
<configuration>
	<appSettings>
		<add key="SMTPServer" value="devserver"/>
	</appSettings>
</configuration>
</syntaxhighlight>
===Router settings===
This is only necessary if the SMTP server is being reached remotely. If the STMP server referenced as part of the LAN then port 25 on the router can remain disabled.
* Log into (medialink) router: http://192.168.123.1
* Click ‘Virtual Server’ option
* Enable port 25 (pointing to the local dev web server)

=== Development web server settings ===

* '''Remote Desktop''' to local dev web server. 
* Start the '''SMTP service'''.
* Start the '''SMTP Virtual Server'''.

==== Command line ====
