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?
