Mail Relay Issues

I have setup my SMTP virtual server (default) for mail relaying. It is
set to use integrated auth and all the setting are fine. The mail I am
programatically trying to use using SmtpClient from System.Net.Mail is
also going thru without any exceptions. the problem is that the mails
are stuck in the $\Inetput\mailroot\queue folder and not getting out of
there. Both the from and to are correct email address with valid
user@domainname.

The logs/event viewer don't complain of anything, can anyone shed light
on what else might be going on?

I am on WinXP with IIS5.1.

thanks.

It could be a DNS issue. Are you able to resolve the domain from the XP box.
Test it using Nslookup from the cmd line.

For example:
>nslookup
>server
>set type=mx
>example.com

You should get a list of MX records for the domain, if not it's a DNS
problem.

Thanks,
