Question about SMTP server environment

Is it necessary for the SMTP or web server to be set up as a domain
controller? I am currently running a local server that hosts several public
websites as well as my internal DNS server. It is not set up as a domain
controller as it started life as a file server and I just don't have to time
redo it right now. Everything seems to work OK except I would like to use
the SMTP server to send email from some web pages. Currently I am using
ASP.net, CDOSYS, and authenticating to a remote SMTP server on my upstream
provider. This works but I would like to have it all internal. I have set
up the SMTP server that comes with Windows Server 2003 several times but I
always find my mail stuck in the queue. I suspect it is a DNS error causing
a mail loop of some kind but am not sure what I need to do to fix it. Can
someone direct me to a tutorial on MX and A records and how they interact
with SMTP servers and public and private DNS servers? I would sure
appreciate the help.
