Event ID 4000 unable to bind to the destination server in dns

[Darren]

Event ID 4000 source smtpsvc
"message delivery to the remote domain <domain> failed for the following
reason: unable to bind to the destination server in dns"
This is on win2000 server sp4. It's been rebooted. No ping errors when I
test. dnsstuff.com tests look ok for email tests. The server does NOT have
exchange on it but does have Outlook 2003.
Our webmaster has an email form (Microsoft® CDO for NTS Library ) that uses
the smtp service.

Hello Darren,

Do you run any kind of firewall? If yes, is port 25 smtp open?
