Open the exchange management console, expand server configuration, click on hub transport, below under receive connectors these are your smtp settings.  Hope that helps

I installed a free utility from Acronis that monitors hard disk and sends alerts when an error is detected.  I want to configure the email alert and it is asking for the SMTP stuff.

For SMTP stuff,You can use your Exchange server IP address ,Configure your sserver IP address OR name for the same.

I don't think there is no option to set up a account from Acronis side in order to deliver the alert message, so you can set your admin account for it. Otherwise, you can create a virtual outgoing connector from EMS and enable anonymous authentication.

In the email alert settings box, it is asking me for

Server Settings:
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)---where do I find this in my Exchnage Console?  I tried joe.contuso.local.  I tried joe.contuso.com, joe@contuso.com. None worked. also, it is asking me for a password, but it isn't it isn't clear if it is the password for the email

Other things I have tried
mail.contuso.local
mail@contuso.local
mail.contuso.com
mail@contuso.com
joe@ with all the above
joe. with all the above.

Nothing works

outgoing mail server (SMTP): servername.contuso.local
Port 25
User name: joe@contuso.com
Password: the password

Use Encryption is not checked.

I am also trying variations of all the above, starting with changing .com to .local and also trying joe. instead of joe@

I finally opened the Exchange window for the user I was trying to list as the "to" and found that user has an alternate name for .local, not same as one I was using. The name in front of the @ was  slightly different.  Once I entered that alternate, it worked
