    Hi,

       I want to know whether the email sending and receiving function works in sharepoint 2010 server without using Exchange server. Can we use any other Outbound SMTP server: for that sake? As I am new to this Please explain me how this SMTP works? What is essential to make this work?

    You don't need Exchange to enable outbound mail traffic. Any SMTP server will do, as long as SharePoint has access to it (firewall port 25 and probably an entry in the access list). More information on outgoing mail:

    To enable incoming mail to SharePoint you can use Exchange but you don't have to. To use incoming mail without Exchange, you'll have to make the necessary changes to DNS to route mails for your SharePoint environment to your SharePoint farm. More information on incoming mail:

    Incoming mail requires you to activate the local IIS-based SMTP server on your SharePoint box whereas outgoing mail does not.

    Exchange isn't required to make outbound email work in SharePoint.  You can enable the SMTP on anyof the SharePoint WFE'w and then point SharePoint to use that SMTP service as it's outbound service.  Make sure that you set up some security on the SMTP server so it doesn't become a relay source for "bad" people on the internet.   Just make the private IP range of the SharePoint servers the allowed IP Range for relaying through the server.

    Hope this helps-
