SMTP newbie help

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I just installed Windows 2003 R2 Standard DC server. On it I installed IIS 5
with SMTP server. The last piece is Windows Sharepoint 2.0. I have
Sharepoint setup with Alerts and email sent to the users. Sharepoint uses
SMTP to send the emails. But all my emails end up in the SMTP queue. They do
not go out. I downloaded a tool smtpdiag and ran it on the server. I get an
error saying that my ISP will not accept mail from this unknown mailer. And
contact the sites whitelist support team. My outlook clients use the smae
ISP and they work fine. I even have Outlook installed on the server and it
works.
I can drop a test email in the smtp queue and it will sit there also never
moves. I think the end up in the badmail folder.
This is a home network so I do not have a business account with my isp.

I do get this event id on the server

Type: Warning
Date: 1/2/2009
Time: 9:23:56 PM
Event: 4006
Source: smtpsvc
Category: None
User: N/A
Computer: TGCS001
Description:
Message delivery to the host '206.46.232.11' failed while delivering to the
remote domain
'verizon.net' for the following reason: An SMTP protocol error occurred.

I believe I have SMTP server configured properly.
I even changed the outgoing security to use the same username and password
as I use in my email clients. but then I got this event id

Type: Warning
Date: 1/2/2009
Time: 9:22:56 PM
Event: 4000
Source: smtpsvc
Category: None
User: N/A
Computer: TGCS001
Description:
Message delivery to the remote domain 'verizon.net' failed for the following
reason: The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt.


Is there any way I can point my smtp server to another ISP that may not use
username and passwords to get mail thru?
Is there any site like that?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Happy New Year

Thanks

Tom
