All isp's I have seen allow you to send through their smtp server. I would
speak to them and find out exactly what smtp server you should be sending
through then configure your smtp server to forward through that. Otherwise
dont use a smarthost and just deliver by dns, i.e make a direct connection
with the recipients smtp server, that however will result in some
recipients
not accepting mail from you as you may not be trusted. Speak to your isp.

Just installed IIS and SMTP on my Windows 2003 R2 Standard server

I also installed SharePoint 2.0 setup alerts which use SMTP to send out
the
email

My problem is my ISP blocks email from my smtp server using port 25

I am not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for this question but I
need
some suggestions

I am thinking of getting a Domain name registered IE MYDOMAIN.COM then
get
a automatic redirector of my IP address so it follows my domain name

If that works then I can add my domain name to my ISP's whitelist

I use a DSL router then that connects to my Linksys broadband router.

3 PC's running Windows XP PRO and my server on this small network.

I used smtpdiag and it showed that my isp was rejecting my smtp mail.

Any ideas or thoughts

Thanks

Tom
