Hello,
The drop folder is not a queue, it is a folder where all emails destinated
for a locally hosted domain ends up. So this tells us that your SMTP
server (incorrectly) thinks that the domain you are trying to send emails
to, are located on the server.
This means that you either have a virtual smtp server named the same as
the domain you try to send to, or that DNS is not properly configured (the
name server for the domain is either not properly configured, or DNS
settings on the server is wrong. Also be aware of that if you have a AD
name that matches your domain, you may have these problems).
You also want to check with your ISP that they do not block attempts to
send emails (i.e they block outgoing port 25). You may also want to use
your ISP's SMTP server as smart host.
You are not explaining what kind of problems you have sending to an
"internet account", so it is impossible to give a solution to that. It
could however be related to that your ISP blocks port 25.
Your next step in solving this is to figure out what is actually wrong.
This may help you:
