SMTP fails despite SMTPDiag "Success"

| I wonder if anyone can help me figure out why SMTP outgoing mail fails on IIS
6.0 installed on Windows 2003 Server.
I searched the internet, and it recommended a diagnostic tool called
SMTPDiag from Microsoft. It ran a bunch of tests. It makes it look as if
everything went okay. But the test message is still not received in my inbox
on the other end, no matter which of my email addresses I send to. Also, any
test message I put into the Pickup folder instantly goes into the Queue
folder and just sits there.
The only error SMTPDiag gives is at the beginning:
Failed to connect to the domain controller. Error: 8007054b
But all the websites that talk about this say to ignore that error.
Then it says Checking TCP/UDP SOA serial number using DNS server. It says:
TCP test succeeded.
UDP test succeeded.
Then it says Checking TCP/UDP SOA serial number using DNS server
It says:
TCP test succeeded.
UDP test succeeded.
It says:
SOA serial number match: Passed.
It says:
Checking local domain records.
It says:
Both TCP and UDP queries succeeded. Local DNS test passed.
Then: Checking remote domain records.
It says:
Both TCP and UDP queries succeeded. Remote DNS test passed.
Then it says it's Checking MX servers listed for [the address I'm sending to].
Then it properly gives the name of the email server at the remote location.
It says "Sent" and "Received"
Here's where it gets maybe a little strange: It says it successfully
connected to the remote server, and then it goes through this send, receive
dialog, as if it's sending a message. Then it does it again. And again.
And again. No error, just seems to send it several times.
No message is ever received. No error is ever generated.
What to do?????
Thanks!
