Alternatively, if you using Synchronet Control Panel for Windows, you can use the SBBSCTRL:Mail->Configure menu option to make the configuration changes and then hit the 'OK' button:

Synchronet Mail Server configuration for relaying through Vertrauen

Note: the Use Relay Server radio button must be checked on the SendMail tab for the Relay tab shown above to appear in the configuration dialog box.

Or... in SCFG v3.20+, in Servers->Mail Server->SendMail Thread...


                 SendMail Thread

 Enabled                       Yes
 Rescan Interval               1 hour
 Connect Timeout               10 seconds
 Auto-exempt Recipients        Yes
 Max Delivery Attempts         50
 Delivery Method               Relay
 Relay Server Address          mail.synchro.net
 Relay Server TCP Port         25 <-----------------------
 Relay Server Authentication   Plain
 Relay Server Username         your-qwk-id
 Relay Server Password         pass

Why does this say port 25, and your telling me 587?
