pls help
1.Add new remote domain (smtpserver.mysite.com)
2.Under properties for new domain set outbound security (username,password)
Many web sites which my company hosts I send test mail to a hotmail or yahoo account, or we have an alternative domain set up which allows us to send mail internally...(basically DNS for the alternative domain is an internal IP which lets SMTP not go through the DMZ out and back in again].
Basic things you can check - SMTP writes warnings and failures to the event logs. You can turn on logging in the IIS MMC and see what is happening also.
Mail should be dropped in inetpub\mailroot\pickup, [in fact you can compose an email in notepad and drop it here also]. if an attempt for delivery is made and fails, it then goes into the queue, and delivery is reattempted per your IIS/SMTP settings. If it continues to fail, it then ends up in badmail.
