Smarthost email not going through using SBS2003 server

I have had problems with other email servers beliving that our email was spam (because I am running an exchange server behind my hosting provider's server), so we decided recently to change to a smarthost delivery for email - so that everything is sent and received thru my host.

I am using SBS2003 server, SP1 - with Microsoft Exchange server 2003.

I have set up the delivery to smarthost rather than via DNS (and put my hosting provider's smtp server name) and have also changed the authentication for the SMTP connector to basic, with the user and password for my hosting provider.

But no email goes thru. How can I troubleshoot this problem ?

Make sure that the smart host is listed on the Default SMTP Virtual Server as well.  You'll find that setting on the Delivery Tab > Advanced Delivery

Jeff,

Didn't work, but I also see there is a tab called outbound security in the Delivery tab as well. Do I change these settings to the username / login for my hosting service ?

OK,

I clicked on the queue and it says "The remote SMTP service rejected AUTH negotiation."

I will try contacting my host and try and see why.
