Still getting this though:

So, now that we've gone through several iterations of my lunacy, where am I now with this issue?

If your server hosted on a dsl line or dynamic IP address, most providers like gmail or hotmail will most likely not accpet email from your server.

It's a dedicated server hosted at gigenet's colocation facility in Chicago. This isn't a 'hosting from home' project. The IPs given are legitimate and static addresses.

I think I got it now. I changed settings in outlook for SMTP authentication from:
Outgoing server requires authentication = yes
Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail = yes
to
Outgoing server requires authentication = yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server = yes

So I guess I'm saying that in spite of my lunacy, all is working now.

Thank everyone so much for their patience and help
