Mail not leaving the queue if reciever is on local domain?

I have created a .Net application which I am housing on a Windows 2K
server. The app has the ability to send out email notifications. The
emails are sent out using the default SMTP server on the win2K machine.
Now for emails which fall outside my network domain, these mails send
(for example: someguy@hotmail.com). But is it is in my domain, the
emails get held up in the gueue folder (for example:
someguy@mydomain.com).

I then set up the virtual SMTP server to use a smart host, pointing the
mails to my exchange server. I also added the app server to the relay
list on my exchange server.

The emails are still doing the same thing.


What can I do?

Thank you

1) Post in the SMTP group.

2) Where are they supposed to go in your domain? Do you have a
proper MX record for the mail server receiving them? A POP server
with mailboxes to deliver to?
