Very helpful application! Is it possible to configure proxy-settings for this app? The application works great , when @ home network, but once I am in VPN or office network that uses Proxy settings, I cannot get the application working.

Project Description

Most mail servers require encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), but not all software supports SSL/TLS. SmtpProxy accepts unencrypted connections, encrypts them, and forwards them to your SMTP server. It runs as a Windows Service and supports ALL email clients. It's developed in C#/.NET4.

SmtpProxy supports GMail, Yahoo, Microsoft Live Mail/Hotmail, and Microsoft Office 365. SmtpProxy supports any and all email clients including Outlook, Firebird, Kaspersky Administration Kit, etc.

SmtpProxy supports installation on a single Windows computer for email clients on that computer only. SmtpProxy also supports installation on a Windows Server so that all computers on your network can route mail through SmtpProxy.

The SMTP Proxy Installer does not prompt for any information nor does it provide any confirmation after installation is complete. It installs the software, registers the Windows Service, and gets to work. See the documentation for more information.

Installing SmtpProxy

The download is a Windows Installer (MSI) file that can be used to install SmtpProxy on any machine that supports the .NET Framework v4 – Client Profile. You should make sure this is installed on your computer before running the MSI.

Configuring SmtpProxy

SmtpProxy is configured using a config file. This is a plain text file that can be edited with Notepad.

The default location of the config file is:

On 32 bit machines: C:\Program Files\SmtpProxy\SmtpProxy.exe.config
On 64 bit machines: C:\Program Files (x86)\SmtpProxy\SmtpProxy.exe.config

If you modify this file, you must restart the SmtpProxy for the new settings to take effect. Use the Restart option from the Windows Services window. You can also restart a service from a console window by issuing two commands:

NET STOP SmtpProxy
NET START SmtpProxy

SmtpProxy Settings

The following items can be configured with SmtpProxy’s config file:

SmtpProxy can write a log of all it’s activities. The default file to write the log file to is SmtpProxy.trace.log.
SmtpProxy can log several different types of activities. You can control what is written to the log file by setting the log switches. By default, they are set to Off so nothing is written to the log file. Valid switch values are Off, Error, Warning, Info, and Verbose with each one providing more information than the last. Once you have SmtpProxy working, you should turn logging Off.
The Url to the SMTP server. Default is smtp.live.com.
The SMTP server port. Default is 587.
The port to listen on. Default is 25.

Default SmtpProxy.exe.config file
