Dear all,
I have found a solution to this, that I think all may benefit. What I did was I installed the SMTP Services in IIS and modified the Virtual SMTP Server to use a "smart host" for sending the mail. Within the properties of these settings, you can tell it a username/password to authenticate with. Once I got that part working (I tested it with BLAT), I simply told Alerter to use the ArcServe server's name as its SMTP sending server. Works great!!

I do a similar thing as Skody.
I've always hated the exchange config setup in the Alert module. I came across this by accident. It works regardless if you have just Exchange or IIS/SMTP smart host.
Go into Alert Module
Cancel when settings Windows pops up
Expand "Configuration"
Expand "Default"
Right Click on SMTP
Sender address "bkup@yourdomain.com"
Subject "backup alert"
SMTP Server "IP Address of your email or smart host"
Click Okay,
Then Right Click SMTP again and select "New Item"
Fill in the destination email address
Fill in the subject line and click okay
Right click the new recipient you just created and select "Send Test Message"
You should receive the test message in about 5-10 seconds.
Ensure if you have any spamfilters in place that you allow the sender address onto your safe list so it doesn't get blocked.
Cheers
