Email cannot be sent on Web Server running 2003 Server

I am having a problem with sending emails from our Web Server. The Web Server is running IIS 6.0 2003 Server and a Web Based Employment Applictoin Software. A user will input their email Address, and once they have completed a web based form and selected submit, the program sends the applicant an acknowledgement email. However, they are not receiving the email.
The SMTP service is running. I am able to telnet using port 25 to the server, and I am able to telnet using port 25 from the server to another email server such as AOL.
I am at a loss. Can anyone provide me some other things I may need to do to get this to work?

Thanks

Any error indications other than the user not receiving the mail?

Maybe sent but undeliverable?

Can you send yourself a 'test' response?

Are frontpage extensions being used/required?

Any logs indicating a problem?

Is it Wednesday? :-)

Seriously; the problem is too broadly stated to do more than guess.

frs 50, thanks for your help.

DaviedBCS,
I did not provide all of the errors that I have received and you are correct the email did fail after two days which is the default setting on the Defaul SMTP Virtual Server.

The serve is pointing to an internal DNS on our intranet. I have done an nslookup and I get IP resolutions for name
NSLOOKUP response to Yahoo.com
> yahoo.com
Server: svps-dc1.svpsn.district68
Address: 10.100.10.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: yahoo.com
Addresses: 66.94.234.13, 216.109.112.135

HELP: I am not sure how to determine if the SMTP virtual server will allow relaing form itself. And yes I am using the native SMTP serveice in 2003 server.
