WordPress on IIS 6.0, Windows 2003 - Some Tweaks (URL Rewrite and SMTP)

OK so I lied. Everything wasn’t working after I set up my WordPress blog on IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003. Two things were broke: SMTP (email from the blog) and URL Rewrites/Permalinks.
SMTP worked through IIS just fine, I could telnet and send email out, but from WordPress, it was getting a 501 error. From what [...]
