SMTP server help.

Ok everybody, I need some help. I am trying to get a vb smtp email server working... I got some help from somebody but I hit a roadblock. I am wanting to send email using this server. The network the program will be on does not have an smtp server so I had to get one...

I want to start the server, send the email, close the server...

The server is recieving the email fine. But when it tries to send it out i get an error message returned

"Connection is forcefully rejected"

Any thoughts or comments... Or does anyone with some SMTP experience want to take a look at the server?

Gracias.

I know some smtp servers will not accept mail from other servers unless the recipient in on that box, or it is being relayed by that box.

What smtp software are you using?

Its on the same machine...

See this place is too cheap to install IIS On one machine to make my life easy... And I cant depend on a machine to stay on with a server on it or id put it on it. So i have to start the server on the local machine. send the mail from there.

Any thoughts

You mentioned that you got a server, were you refering to a published SMTP server?

If so which one are you using. If it's the SMTP server in IIS specify version 4 or 5

If you haven't installed any smtp software (other then yours), then what's the upstream smtp server.

Just getting clarification
