Cold Fusion SMTP help

[joinT]

hey guys, I keep getting this error trying to send an email to myself using Cold Fusion....
here's the error...
"Error","TID=752","03/10/02","14:25:41","Error occurred while attempting to send mail message. - [PT_ERROR] General error (550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for t_mckerracher@hotmail.com) - Sender = 'PC-Electronix', Recipients = 't_mckerracher@hotmail.com' - Undelivered message archived to 'C:\COLDFUSION\MAIL\UNDELIVR\CFM12.TMP'"

& here's the code...
<CFMAIL to="t_mckerracher@hotmail.com" from="PC-Electronix" subject="An order has been placed at PC-Electronix">
An order has been placed at PC-Electronix. You need to login to your <b>email addy deleted</b> account.
</CFMAIL>

any ideas ?? thanks in advance

Just an idea:

try from="PC-Electronix@localhost", or a valid email addy

Is the SMTP server on the same machine as the coldfusion page?
If not, you need to allow relaying from your coldfusion server through the SMTP server.

web/ftp/smtp & cold fusion are all on the same server. the smtp service is setup & I verified the connection in CF administrator.

i tried my pc_electronix@hotmail.com addy, but I don't think it worked. (i haven't received an email, but I'm not on my home network now, so I can't check my logs)
