History:
SBS 2003 R2, all windows updates, etc.
Installed Sharepoint 3.0 side by side.
Testing email alert features.  Notice emails not going out.
I am not versed with IIS at all.  Tried a couple of things then decided to re-install IIS SMTP component.

NOT GOOD.

Found that I had damaged the IIS / Exchange Server SMTP service extensions and they had not been restored.

I used KB822939 & Q320202 to resolve the problem with Exchange.  (Un-install and re-install IIS and Exchange), It took two tries before it worked.

However my orginial problem still exists.  No emails going out from the Sharepoint 3.0 site.  In the event log I find the follow informaiton:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
Event Category: E-Mail
Event ID: 6858
Date:  2/1/2010
Time:  10:15:39 AM
User:  N/A
Computer: MS-FS0
Description:
An error occurred while talking to SMTP host ?????.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

So I research the error message, and find there is NO smtp virtual server in the IIS Manager.  I research that problem and find http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555030, which advises me to register a dll, I do that and still no smtp virtual server in the IIS Manager.  Method 2 recommends re-installing IIS, I have done this a few times already over the weekend.

What can I do to get this to work?
