SmtpMail.Send - Exception "Could not access 'CDO.Message' object"

Hi
I am writing a ASP.NET web application that must sent some e-mails.
I get the exception “Could not access 'CDO.Message' object” when I call
SmtpMail.Send. This only happens when I send e-mail addresses out side my co
mpany walls. When the e-mail is send on some one in my company it works perf
ect.
I think it is a relay issue. Our system administrator will not allow relayin
g.
In the ASP.Net web.config file I let the web application impersonate a speci
fic user that has a mail account on our mail server:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="MyDon\MyUserName" password="zzzz" />
The web server and the mail server are two different physical computers.
I have two questions:
1) How can I fix the problem?
2) Is it a relay issue? If yes, what can I do to fix it? Is it OK to allow r
elaying on a mail server?
Below you can se my code and the exceptions

A tip: when you examine that message in the debugger, you might see a better
reason for the error. The "Could not access" is shown regardless of the real
reason.
