SMTP on IIS web server does not work

Objective: users fill in form on intranet web page and results are forwarded as mail via the SMTP server on the same IIS server to mailboxes on our Exchange 5.5 server on same LAN and subnet.

Problem: Cannot seem to configure the SMTP bit correctly. The only error messages logged are error ID423 Virtualserver1: routing extension was not specified. Delivery to mailboxes is not available. Which according to technet is just info to be ignored ! The only other error noted was when putting in thedomain info under MMC snapin for SMTP, there was a specified path not found error that came up - default local domain is as found in DNS properties on TCP/IP in Control Panel, Network on the IIS server and you can browse to the drop mail directory -so could this be due to something in the registry conflicting because I have installed NT to C drive but installed IIS and SMTP to D drive???

The web pages are constructed with Frontpage 2000 which reports that Frontpage server extensions have not been configured to send e-mail, when I attempt to save the form field settings to post results via email.

Additional Information:
Standalone NT4 server SP4, IIS version 4 (NT Option Pack)
Exchange 5.5 SP3 holds all mailboxes for domain eg user@xyz.com, although the domain is hosted by external ISP and we only have a DNS caching server on our LAN.
I havent configured any host files. There is a WINS server on our LAN. Its all NT, no Win2000 servers.

Thanks in advance, John.

Looked at those plus M$ manuals plus Technet. No help. Next message it saying I might have it right, all except the mail isnt reaching the recipient mailbox.

You didn't say whether you had Frontpage Server Extensions installed.
If you don't, then this isn't going to work.
If you do, can you explain how you've configured it?

I've got it working here with the same setup you have. The only thing that you should ignore is a message from Frontpage 2000 (where you are building the form page) that server extensions may not be configured and would you like to remove the email recipient.
I get this message, and click no.

My form submissions are emailed to a public folder that I have set up in Exchange 5.5.

So this Frontpage message may be a red herring?

OK, so explain the message actually on the feedback.asp form when loaded in the browser :- [FRONTPAGE SAVE RESULTS COMPONENT] which appears above the form section of the page when I specify to sendresults to an email address?

I have tracked down Q174406 and edited the file frontpg.ini on the server with the SMTPHost setting and restarted the services. No joy.
