It depends on how the web server is connecting to the mail server. Some (like in the case of SQL Mail) use a MAPI profile and thus do not require a connection to port 25. If your web server is connecting this way then it must also authenticate as a user. Your documentation should be able to tell you what is actually going on. If you don't have any then you are going to be stuck doing a network trace to see what happens when you trigger the web site to send mail. Does the traffic make it to Exchange? Does the traffic successfully authenticate? Is the sender allowed? What is the method for connecting to the exchange server? MAPI, SMTP What has changed that may affect this? Nobody can guess why the problem is happening, you have to deduce it.

You should be able to telnet your exchange box on port 25 from anywhere (either from the local exchange box or a workstation). That's exactly what happened to me, but in my case, all e-mail communication got interrupted.

It has ip 192.168.0.1. In the forum i have the option to enable the possibility to use the smtpserver. All i have to enter is the ipadres and the user with the credentials.. Strange is it then he, that my exchange functions, but i am not able to connect to it by telnet. Can it be that it has to do something with relaying permissions and acces control?

Try replicating the connection this way and you will likely find the spot that you are being denied.
