550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for

I am having a problem with a Exchange 2003 server that is also a POP3
server. I have configured Outlook express to use the POP3 server to
retrieve emails.  When I am using a OE client local to the Exchange
server everything seems to work fine and I can send and receive email to
local and remote email addresses.
When I use a OE client that is not local to the Exchange server I can
receive email, but not send. The error I receive is:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected
by the server. The rejected e-mail address was
'some***@othercompany.net'. Subject 'test', Account: 'Frank', Server:
'mail.localcompany.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.7.1
Unable to relay for some***@othercompany.net', Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

On the OE client I have checked "My server requires authentication",
which seems to clear up this issue for many people, but I am still
receiving the error.
On the Exchange server under the "Default SMTP Virtual Server" I have
checked the "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to
relay, regardless of the list above"
The Authentication is set for 'Anonymous Access', 'Basic authentication'
and 'Integrated Windows Authentication"

If I set up an open relay I am able to send email from a remote
location...So I think there is something I'm missing with the client
authentication. Is there someway to verify my authentication is working.
Any help is appreciated

Thnx
Frank

There's a small chance the profile could be corrupt - try deleting it
and recreating it.    Check your event viewer too, maybe it will shed
some light on the matter.   Does it do it for all users on OE, or just
this one?
