Jack, If you can use Outlook to send mail through your Exchange server, then the problem most certainly isn't with the Exchange server. You just don't have the client settings correct in blat or whatever. Questions:
+ port 25 or no? If no, could be 993 or 465 + SSL or no? Probably SSL, probably wrapped in TLS + secure authentication or no? Probably yes Google for testing smtp servers using telnet. Then once you can send mail using a manual telnet session, you'll have all the pieces known to send email using your setup. Again, if mail clients can send mail through your Exchange server, then there's nothing misconfigured on the Exchange side. Unless Microsoft has done some incredibly shifty things when I wasn't looking. Which of course is always possible. :) But... if you can't set TBird or Outlook to send mail through Exchange, ask the consultants why that doesn't work and have them give you the proper settings. Say "I can't get my Thunderbird to send mail through Exchange. What am I doing wrong?" and send them the settings you are using.
