SMTPMAIL setup on Windows 2003

Hi, I am using Networker 7.3.3 on a Windows 2003 Server, I am trying to setup Networker to send notification to my email address and it is not working.
I have checked the exchange server availability, I can telnet to it on port 25 and can send email out.
Networker will not send, I have tested the same command I have in the networker notification directly on the command prompt and it does not send, I get error:
protocol error: didn't get "OK" from server
below is the example of the command used:
smtpmail -h mtxxxxx.aaaeee.com -s "E-mail Subject : Savegroup completion report" support@aaaeee.com

I am beginning to think there is something specific in Server 2003 I need to configure before smtp works, any ideas?
Do I need to have Internet Information Services (IIS) configured?
there is no other email program being used as of now.
any help is much appreciated.

    Hi, to get the exact error configure Outlook Express or MS outlook with the same SMTP and check whether you can send mail if not you would get the error message like relaying denied etc. If you get any message check with exchange admin or post the error here.

    Have you checked the Relay Restrictions in your Exchange Server?

    Hi,

    You can use "Blat", for configuring of email notifications.

    It is easier to use and is free to download, also networker functions quite well alongwith it too.

    For this particular error he would get the same with blat... I believe Sergio was on right track with his suggestion.

    Hello,
    try to add option -f (from) to the command line. And make sure that you put your domain after the @. Like your.address@yourmaildomain.com.
    Exchange can be configured to only relay smtpmails from own domain...

    Kind regards
