# in hMailServer, log file
| Settings > Logging
check 'Enabled'
check 'SMTP'
C:\Program Files (x86)\hMailServer\Logs\

# in hMailServer, IP Ranges
| Settings > Advanced > IP Ranges
- Priority
    a higher value means higher priority
- Lower ip & Upper ip
    for matching smtp client ip
- Require SMTP authentication
    if the 'MAIL FROM' mail address doesn't exist in 'Domains', it is considered as a 'external e-mail address', otherwise it is a "local e-mail address"
    if the 'RCPT TO' mail address doesn't exist in 'Domains', it is considered as a 'external e-mail address', otherwise it is a "local e-mail address"
    'External to external e-mail address' should normally always be selected (if you do not require authentication when external users sends messages through your server, your server will be abused by spammers)
