Need to send non-local emails through Domino server with Outlook

I need to send emails from Outlook express through our Notes server. I can send and receive my local mails, but if I send from a hotmail address, it is rejecting this and giving the following message:

The message could not be send because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'someone@hotmail.com, subject test message from application, Account xxx.xxx.x.xx, server xxx.xxx.x.xx, protocol SMTP, Server response 554 Relay rejected for policy reasons, port 25, secure(ssl)no, server error:554,Error Number:0x800CCC79.

Any ideas how I could setup this to work without compromising security?


In R5, you should be able to set your outbound sender controls to allow relaying for certain IP addresses. This is found in the configuration document. You can add your local and your specific hotmail account to this list.
