if it say 'cannot find smtp', it's not that long of a checklist:


1. wrong smtp-server (please use ip, not dns-name)
2. smtp not supported (ms exchange doesn't support smtp 'out of the box', thats an option, and exchange might be picky on ip.adr. go figure. that's a dns-trap for you)
3. smtp server blocked by firewall/some security-antivirus-protection-shit.
4. wrong port no. (some it-admins like to change the port no. because they think it will make things safer. bs.)

can't really come up with anything else. general tip though: put scanner-nic in dhcp so that if finds info first, and make a default sender as all email requires that. if it finds smtp but goes into error when trying to send, thats when the list can get nasty.
