If your server hosted on a dsl line or dynamic IP address, most providers like gmail or hotmail will most likely not accpet email from your server.
It's a dedicated server hosted at gigenet's colocation facility in Chicago. This isn't a 'hosting from home' project. The IPs given are legitimate and static addresses.
I think I got it now. I changed settings in outlook for SMTP authentication from: Outgoing server requires authentication = yes Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail = yes to Outgoing server requires authentication = yes Use same settings as incoming mail server = yes
So I guess I'm saying that in spite of my lunacy, all is working now. Thank everyone so much for their patience and help
