CDONTS - only emailng out of local domain

[Kinl]

When I'm using CDONTS with ASP, I have the email sent, and it will send an email out side of my company, but it will not send it within my company. If the to: field is anyone@yourcompany.com then it will send. But if I send it to anyone@mycompany.com then it wont send!!

I dont get it. SMTP is running too!

I've had the exact same problem. You're not alone, man... I never found a work-around. We all had to get forwarding accounts to send inside the company.

I did figure out a way to do this!!!

If you go into the IIS Service Manager. (mmc for IIS). You have to go in and under the message delivery section, you have to add a smart host. The smart host is the host will full DNS name resolution (or so I have read, thats what it says it is). Well what your going to want to put in there is your main mail server. Such as this: <mailservername>.<domain>.<internetURL>
So if my network was on the 'mountaindew' domain, and we were at 'pepsi.com' and my mail server name was 'mail01' i would do this in the smart host configuration:

mail01.mountaindew.pepsi.com

and then check the DNS (there is a little button for that to check it, to see if it resolves properly). Well I did that, and now it will try to send the email and if the current computer cannot find DNS resolution, it will send it to the mail server, and then it will send the email.

I'm now getting emails in the company and out of the company.

Bueno!
if you have any questions, put'm down, i'll see if I can help.

Sounded like a fix. But it did NOT work for me.
