Answer 1

Most likelly the mail server will not let you send a message from a domain other than one it serves.

Some will let you if you authenticate.

I have no idea how you authenticate with that mail object, its been years since I have touched classic Asp.

Answer 2

I have both Yahoo and Hotmail money owed, so that is a particularly undemanding one to attempt out. in actuality, sending mail from Hotmail to Yahoo isn't operating, in certain circumstances the mail might want to seem after an afternoon or so, usually i eventually get a shipping failure observe, or no longer something. notwithstanding it may't in simple terms be a Yahoo difficulty, because acquaintances with Hotmail money owed have did not deliver mail to my Hotmail account. Time to the contact Hotmail tech help, for each and each and every of the sturdy it is going to do.
