You need an SMTP server to use Database Mail.

Thank you Tara! One more question,

Do I need SMTP server as well as exchange server or only one of them will do?

Exchange can do SMTP, but there are other email servers that can handle SMTP requests. If you have a server that can do SMTP, then use that.

What is a SMTP SERVER? When you install IIS, a SMTP service gets installed. Is that the SMTP server?
