We finally go the mail relay working. We had one last problem: It turned out
there was a code bug, although I also partly blame Microsoft. In the ASP
code, the "from line" was set to a text line (e.g. "order form"), instead of
a true address format (e.g., "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). Apparently, the SMTP
service sees the bad from line and throws the message into the badmail folder
without generating any error messages. So, it was our fault for not catching
the bad from line to begin with, but it was MS's mistake not to put any error
handling into their code.
Anyway, thanks to everyone here for their help. It made a difference.

Did you set the Imail server to allow relay for your IIS server?
On your IIS server, outbound security of remote domain, is "no
authentication"
selected?
