All, The Windows SMTP Service is configured by default not to allow ANY OTHER machine to send mail through it. That's why it's complaining about relaying - the IP address of the machine you're sending the mail from is not authorized to send mail through the SMTP server. That's what relaying is - when you send mail through an SMTP server running on another machine.
You have to configure your SMTP server to allow your machine's IP address to send mail through it. Otherwise you'll get this error. Talk to your e-mail administrator.

I only need to issue emails internally to admin when a backup fails. I don't really need to make use of POP3. Thanks Tryst
