Sending mail to external source.

Hello,

I am running Windows Server 2003 edition, hosting with One and One internet.
I am having a strange problem with mail. One and one "split" any domains
you buy into two sections if you will, the web services are provided by the
Windows Server, and the Email services are provided externally by One and
One.

Now, when I set up a domain name on IIS, for example: domain.com , and I
then try to send MAIL from the server to anything@domain.com, the mail
bounces as it is simply looking locally for an account.

I dont want to use an SMTP server to send the mail, as my site uses CDO
extensively and sends out 2000 emails per day.

Any ideas what I can do here?

Kindest Regards,

Gary Whittle.

Hi again,

I think I *may* have solved it.
In IIS, I browsed to SMTP server, I then added the domain as a REMOTE domain
and checked the "Allow incoming mail to be relayed to this domain". Seems
like it may be working now!
What a pain, 1and1 refuse to give any tech support for Windows Server
Software Issues...

1) You have to use an SMTP server to send mail, you just don't have
to use a local one.

2) You say the mail "bounces" but there's no way we can help you with
this description. Give an error message and a log entry.

3) Have you designated the remote SMTP server in CDO?

4) Have you worked with your web host in accomplishing this? After
all, they're the ones controlling your system and it's requirements.
