Ok......what next? Andy.....thanks for your help. I had sent the information to my IT guy. He ran the smtp test and everything passed. He did not get the 550 you mentioned below. I tried to send my email and am still having the same issue...I can send an email to anyone in my company, however, still cannot successfully send an email via smtp to anyone outside of my company. Any suggestions? Megan

Andy, thanks for getting back to me.... In the event that a 550 is coming back, what would the next step be. I will be passing this on to my IT guy and don't need a headache from him when he asks me what to do next :)

I am running a software program that uses SMTP to email information. I can email the information to people within my company, but when I try to email via SMTP to someone outside of the company, I receive the following error: The size of the attachment exceeds the size of the size that your smtp server is willing to accept.-Error in cSmtp.Send.SendMessage:(sending message) Could not access 'CDO.Message" object. Apparently this is a generic message and my IT person says it has to do with authentication issue. He tried setting the SMTP settings to the IP address of the Exchange server as well as the NETBIOS and DNS names without luck. Anything outside of the local domain, the server is seeing as an attempted relay attempt. In other words, it appears that exchange is seeing these messages as an attempt by a Spammer or other server to relay messages through the Exchange server which exchange is set to block. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Megan
