Are you sure CDO.Message uses OE configuration to send mail? The examples of
CDO.Message usage that I see on the net appear to explicitly load some
configuration. Try this for example,

cdoSourceOutlookExpress	= 2
s.Configuration.Load(cdoSourceOutlookExpress)

before s.Send(). It looks like by default CDO.Message() will use the local
IIS "Virtual SMTP Server" which refuses to relay by default.
