No, of course he isn't joking. It is you who don't seem to understand
the process of sending email.
I know that process very well.
Look, in order to send email from your
computer you must have an SMTP server configured. Most people
configure this from their email client (Outlook, Outlook Express,
Thunderbird, etc.). In addition to regular email clients, certain
applications may have the ability to send an email to a designated
person (usually the system administrator) if some specific thing
occurs in the program.
The latter is my case. I wrote a program which sends email using its own
smtp server (I don't need OE) and the program I need to monitor is very
similar to the one I wrote (it don't need any email client, because it use
its own smtp server).
Those programs must get the SMTP information from somewhere. If you
didn't configure the SMTP server from within your Mystery Program then
the Mystery Program is reading the information from whatever email
program configuration you set up. The Mystery Program can't magically
create SMTP server settings out of nothing.
As I told you, the Mystery Program use its smtp server and obviously it
knows the address of the server.
I'm not sure what you're really trying to accomplish but if you're
uncomfortable about what your Mystery Program is doing, spend some
time looking at its configuration settings, log its traffic with your
firewall, and/or contact its tech support for help.
The problem is that I have to use it to work. I know very well its
configuration settings and I know the "legitimate" email address, but I
don't know if the programmer added an email address used to leak emails to
him.
I don't know if now the things are clearer. :-)
I also tried hMailServer to log the smtp traffic, but my configuration
doesn't work :-(
