SMTP service Incoming email for SharePoint Foundation 2010 uses the SMTP service. You can use
the SMTP service in one of two ways. You can install the SMTP service on one or more servers in the
farm, or administrators can provide an email drop folder for email that is forwarded from the service
on another server. Install the SMTP service If you are not using a drop folder for email, the SMTP
service must be installed on every front-end Web server in the farm that you want to configure for
incoming email. To install the SMTP service, use the Add Features Wizard in Server Manager. After
the procedure is complete, a default SMTP configuration has been created. You can customize this
default SMTP configuration to meet the requirements of your environment.
