ok Steve and Kym, good news, I finally got it working.  But, I am confused as to why it now 
works.  I add to go into the STMP Config Utility-SMTP-> and check the box "Skip Rcpt 
Template".  Once I did this all my outlook mail started going through.

Now I need to make sure I didn't open up any holes for SPAMMERS to use my SMTP.

You just did, in spades.....

The rcpt.cfm template is the one that checks whether the incoming mail is from a local domain or not. Now it is not checking anything so anything can go through. That will get picked up in no time by the scanning engines and shortly after you will find yourself on a bunch of blacklists as honeypots pick up the open relayed emails.

The good thing you have done is prove that it is the rcpt.cfm template that is causing the problem. In the management code somewhere is a place to set up the local domains, there you need to make sure your IP ranges are correct as are the domain names. Is the server on a different subnet to where you are trying to connect with your Outlook? That will affect things for starters.

If you are familiar with ColdFusion you can check the code in rcpt.cfm and see which bit is causing the error, what the database lookup is or whatever and fix it by changing the appropriate things. I think a quick update or insert in the database will fix it all.

In short you should not be tweaking iMS, you should be tweaking parameters for the CF code, via FusionMail or whatever it is you use.
