Author cdo mail gets stuck in queue

Hi,
I am trying to get cdo.message working on my home development machine,
however, when I send it it appears to get stuck in the queue and never
actually gets sent.

If I don't have a domain SMTP set (either alias or remote) then I get an
error on page. But if I set these, the email just sits on the queue. I have
been trying to work it out from other posts and forums, aspFAQ etc but with
no joy.

Could someone supply a step by step guide to getting SMTP set up on a win2K
pro machine and how to get these mails out of my servers queue and into the
outside world so I can properly test code withing having to upload to my
hosts server and get the email back?

Many thx for any help.
Stu

well, the first thing I'd check is whether your host blocks SMTP ports as a
way of mitigating the threat of mass mailing worms/viruses and/or spam
traffic. I think that's probably the most likely reason you can't send SMTP
email.
