One way he can test, if he has more than one account, is to try to send an email from one of his alternative accounts through his ISP's SMTP server. For example, I have an account with the consultancy for which I am employed. If I try to send an email from that account from my home system, which is a DSL account with my ISP, I receive an error message and the transmission fails. The message I typically receive in such an event (OE 6.0) is "No Socket error: 10060."
Although inconvenient, I can see the ISP's point of view; open relays are a primary vector for spam and DDOS attacks. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the earth have forced such measures to be taken, but it is apparently now the nature of the online world.
Cheers, Scott

Thanks so much for introducing me "How To Test Windows 2000 IIS SMTP Services Manually" I use the steps by this article to check the work of SMTP in my IIS and find question. The following is the result.
When I type "helo" and "mail from:[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the outputs/replies are all right.
BUT when I type "rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", It should reply as: "250 OK - Recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED]" To my disappointment it ACTUALLY replies : 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The reply indicates that the SMTP does not doing the "rcpt" normally. No wonder the recipient did not receive letters.
What is the ERROR of "550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for ."? How to solve the error and make the SMTP sending emails normally to be able to be received?
As I'm typing this noticed Stephen's message come in, agreed, a quick Google always helps and is lots of time faster than the list (I live on an island, and winter weather has us with no internet for most of today for instance).
Anyhoo... his links are telling you that your ISP is not allowing mail relays from your address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; probably allowing only email originating from their domain to pass through their mail server. Again, not familiar enough with Windows and what you are actually trying to do, but a quick fix could possibly be changing the domain the email is being sent out from, to your ISP's domain and your regular email account with them?
