windows smtp

Ok, I am working with a windows server for work. I know very little about windows in the workplace, except that when it comes to iis and mail, it just sucks at it.

Anyhoot, I have checked web pages, and books that are here and I am confused. Basiclly what we have setup is a domain, then all the otherstuff, proxy server, dns, wins, etc.

I am working on another iis server. Basicly they want forum software(which is installed and working) for their sales reps. Now what I cant get to work is getting the mail sent. A few things first:

1.SMTP IS running on the machine, I can telnet to port 25
2. After attempting to send the message via vbulliten the drop folder is empty

Baiscly mails are not sending, anywhere. I tried connecting to port25 via telnet, but I could not find the syntax to organize a message(I forget what this is called, but like in sendmail/qmail you type To: From: etc)

any suggestions for a fool
