Answer 1

Try this:

<mailSettings>
    <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
        <network host="mail.mydomain.com" port="25" />
    </smtp>

    <!-- Use this setting for development

    <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="C:\Temp" />
    </smtp> -->
</mailSettings>

Took from here.
