ASP send mail problem

I am using Windows XP with IIS to send email. My ASP page sends the email OK
because it goes from the Pickup folder to the Queue folder. However, the
mail just sits there and is not picked up by my ISP. I can open the .EML
file in Outlook and it looks fine. Do I have a configuration problem or is
it something else?

Re: ASP send mail problem

Well, it's not meant to be "picked up" by your ISP. The SMTP component of
your IIS install is meant to send the message. Step one, check the event
logs of your machine - they may have a message relating to this, possibly a
DNS lookup failure or a connection failure.

My gut instinct is that your ISP is blocking SMTP ports to cut down on spam,
and your mail is being left behind, in which case use your ISP's SMTP server
rather than IIS's
