ServerName Property  
 

Gets and sets the name of the server that is used to send messages.

Syntax

object.ServerName [= value ]

Remarks

The ServerName property is used to specify an alternate server that is used to deliver messages. When the SMTP service is used, this property is used in conjunction with the Relay property to enable the relaying of messages through another mail server.

By default, the phone number is used to automatically determine the host name of the gateway server that is responsible for accepting messages for the mobile device. However, under some circumstances it may not be possible to send messages directly to the wireless service provider's gateway. For example, many Internet service providers (ISPs) require that customers relay all messages through their servers and block any attempt to establish a direct connection with another mail server. This property can be used to specify an alternate server that will be responsible for sending the message.
