Hi I'm having problems understanding this.  I don't understand the SMTP server IP.  I don't know what to do with that.  Please let me know what I need to do.
I really want to see if this works, cause I've been looking for a email spy program for a long time.  So please get back to me!
Thank you!!!

Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client software to a mail server. This is why you need to specify the SMTP server (either by server name or by numeric IP address)  when you configure your e-mail application.  
 
So if your mail client software is configured to use SMTP server for sending e-mail messages, those messages are SMTP-based outgoing emails. Today our Email Spy software captures any outgoing SMTP-based emails.
 
There is yet web-based outgoing emails, when you send messages using usual web browser (i.e. through web interface), what most of free web services (like hotmail and yahoo) propose today. Capture of outgoing web-based emails will be available in the our next program versions only.
