The reason it wasn't working is because the new ISP won't allow any mail to be sent from any computers on their network.

Instead they expect you to forward all mail through their mail servers so that they can block any spam originating from their network. In order to use their mail server for sending mail, they expect you to authenticate against their smtp server. Unfortunately, the mail server provided in windows in incapable of doing this thus no mail could be sent out.

I've rigged up a temporary fix that will allow the mail to go through and it should do until I can find a replacement smtp server for windows that will work with the ISP's mail server.

Sorry for the trouble.
