Not able to configure IIS 5.1 to send/receive mails on my domain properly

[vivekcyrus]

Hi. im using Windows xp and IIS 5.1 on a single machine. I created a new domain in IIS, did all the configurations but still i cannot send or receive mails on the new domain. the mails are either stuck in the Badmail folder or the Queue folder or goes to the drop folder(when i created a local-alias domain)
Could you please help me out in configuring IIS for a new domain ?
Thanks!

Welcome to TSDN. How are you sending receiving the emails? Do you mean you are trying to create an email address using your domain?

Welcome to TSDN. How are you sending receiving the emails? Do you mean you are trying to create an email address using your domain?

i am using telnet to send a test mail. i did the following :-

1) create a remote domain in IIS
2) checked the "allow incoming mails to be relayed to this domain" option
3) specified an ip address to the virtual SMTP Domain
4) opened a command prompt, typed, nslookup
5) then typed the following
set type=mx
domainname.com
6) i then opened another command prompt, typed telnet domainname.com 25
nothing happened
7) typed telnet IPAddressOfDoma in 25
it connected ! :) :)
8) then i typed the following
helo user1
mail from:user1@doma in.com
rcpt to:user1@domain .com
data
test
.
The mail is stuck in the queue folder ! if i created a local(alias) domain and followed the same steps(except nslookup thingy), the mail then goes to the drop folder
Could you please help me out here
Thanks !
