E-mail from form not working

Form is published and will write to a file with results of the form but
won't e-mail. The e-mail portion of the Web server (2003) is turned on.
About to drive me crazy.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Are the frontpage server extensions configured with a mail server name, from
address and reply to address?

(do that in the extensions administration web page)

Yes, that's the way it is configured; we have the correct smtp server
configured on 2003. It writes to the results file but will not e-mail out of
the form...

Is the SMTP server configured to accept connections from the website
IP address? And, if necessary, relay the messages?

I did everything that was on the help page and it still does not work.
Again, it will write to the results file but will not send the e-mail.

thanks

Stop saying that, it's not important.

You have an outbound email transport issue and need to stop thinking about
it as a FrontPage or form problem because it is not.

Log onto the mail server and check for errors, check for the messages in its
queues.

Also, log onto your web server and telnet in on port 25 to the mail server
using the same DNS name you set up in the FP extensions. Does it answer?
If not, then is there an error message?

If you have reverse DNS on your WWW server, just use the built in SMTP
server that came with IIS instead, it's much easier to set up.
