Using CDONTS and SMTP with a netgear firewall
I am running multiple website on a server running iis 6.0. The sites all use CDONTS to send mail using SMTP. The server is configured as an SMTP server and has a static IP address. Everything was working fine untill I added a netgear firewall (FVX538). Now I just can't send mail. It does get added to the mail queue but then never gets sent. Iv've opened up port 25 and routed it to the box. Is there anything I'm missing or need to do?

This is your firewall problem and you can just check it throough the following
You may perform the following test to confirm the SMTP server is online and responding:
1. Start > Run > cmd (WinNT/XP/2003) or Start > Run > command (Win95/98)
2. Type command: telnet mail.domainname.com 25 (Example as below)
c:\telnet mail.YourDomain.com 25
Connecting To mail.YourDomain.com..._
You should receive some response as below:
220- domainname.com ESMTP Exim 4.50 #1 Tue, 21 Jun 2005 07:30:42 +0800
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.�
The message confirmed that the SMTP server is working properly.
