Yes, and I have just checked the Queue folder and other visitors to our
website tried, through our webpage, to send an e-mail to us and their
message is also queued... At least, I can go to the Queue directory and
check the message we should normally have received. Not ideal at all, but
better than nothing I guess... I am being sarcastic here, this s***ks!

Huh?? What are you talking about here? The only Queue thingy that I know of
is the Queue folder, which I mentioned above and for which I have already
provided a screenshot.

Ok, I did something like:

    telnet mx-domain 25

I got something like:

    220 some-address-and-some-blah-blah-blah

I then entered for testing:

    ehlo my-domain

I got:

    250 some-address-and-some-blah-blah-blah

Then:

    mail from:my-email-address

Got:

    250 OK

Then:

    rcpt to:recipient-email-address

Got:

    250 Accepted

Then:

    data

Got:

    354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself

Then:

    <some data ended with "." on a line by itself>

Got:

    250 OK id=some-id

Then:

    quit

Got:

    221 some-address closing connection

I then checked the recipient's e-mail account and it did receive the
e-mail... Just to be exact, I tried that from the computer that holds the
dodgy IIS server. I connected to one of the mx domains that "causes"
problems. The sender's e-mail address is that of the account that is
normally used to send e-mails via IIS. The recipient's e-mail address is
that of one of the accounts that "causes" problems.

So, what I am saying is that by directly using telnet, I can send e-mails
without any problem whatsoever, while I can't via IIS...

That you will get via e-mail... :)

Sorry for the delay, but I am rather overloaded with work lately, so...

    Thanks again, Alan.
