How to setup CDONTS

[UGrad]

Somebody please answer my questions about CDONTS.

I have a MS Exchange server and a webserver running IIS. I am going to write an ASP page using CDONTS to send out email. Here are my questions:
1. I have a simple ASP page and I can use it to send email to anyone on my local area network, but when I tried to send email to outside (hotmail or yahoo mail), I got delivery stats notification (failure). I am sure I open the port on my firewall for the SMTP server. Is there any other things I have to check?
2. If SMTP server is not working, I am going to use the Smart Host feature on IIS. Do I need to run the SMTP service on webserver to send out email or I can use the Smart Host feature on IIS to use send email through Exchange server?

Have you checked the attached message why delivery failed?
Also, try posting this question on the IIS Forum. They may be able to give you the exact answer.

I got this message:
==========================================================
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

xxxxxx@hotmail.com
==========================================================
And there are 2 attachments. One is my message, and the other one is:
==========================================================
Reporting-MTA: dns;WEBSERVER2
Received-From-MTA: dns;WEBSERVER2
Arrival-Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2004 16:22:44 -0500

Final-Recipient: rfc822;xxxxxx@hotmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Relaying is prohibited
==========================================================

I will also try to post it on IIS board.
