I have a MT OS running on a PC. How do I arrange the OS sending an e-mail (or sms) to my smtp server that is provided by a third party? (On the internet)
I tried their IP address (found it by tracert to their domain) but no luck. I took the exact example from the ROS (netwatch tool) and replaced the need to- and from-address and used the IP of the e-mail service provider. No luck.
Do I need to run a smtp server myself?

no,
you must put ip their smtp server to Mikrotik Machine.
or try to read this topic, maybe better for you…

OK, but how do I get an IP address of my e-mail provider. I can only trace their home webpage?
I see in your script a ¨reso¨ command. Is this ¨Resolve¨? How does that work? My ROS doesn’t know such command nor does Windows CMD??
Also, what should be my ´send´ address, my e-mail address I have with this e-mail provider??
What should then by the ´send-from´ address for the MT device? Can I give it any name? Or do I open a new e-mail address with this provider and use that one?
I do not own any domain so I can´t use one that is mine:

Hai frens,
first, just tell you mikrotik isn’t mail server. But you can send mail from your Mikrotik machine. than you must put smtp ip address to it, don’t put with dns name. or you have your own smtp-relay ip address
solution:
/ping smtp.your_isp.net
or
/:put [:reso smtp.your_isp.net]
than press enter key button, you can see report ip address on your console.
reso same resolve command, but for console and you must use :reso
i like typing any script 4 caracters minimum…
i used this script http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/update-smtp-backup-scripts/14653/1 cos sometime my main isp change their smtp ip address [maybe for their security], than i must update first before mikrotik sending any mail.
