Snitz doesn't talk directly to your mailserver, it goes via a COM object, if you have any of the supported COM's installed it should work fine .. ASPEmail, CDOSYS, CDONTS, JMail etc etc most of these support SMTP Authorisation and will most likely need a change to inc_mail.asp to just insert your userid/pass details. I know for sure that the code for SMTP Auth when using CDOSYS is there already, just need to have the details filled out and the lines uncommented.

Have you setup Argo with a subdomain e.g. mail.yourserver.com or an i.p. address?

If you specify either in Email Config Snitz should use Argo. You only need to edit inc_mail.asp if Argo requires a valid username and password (authentication) before sending mail.

mydomain.com would usually refer to a website not a mail server.

If you want Snitz to use your mail server you would either have to use the i.p. address bound to the mail server or a friendly name like mail.mydomain.com which resolves to the i.p. address of your mail server.

webmail.domain.com is not necessarily the i.p. of your mail server (which is what you need).

If it's on the same server, then use the localhost IP 127.0.0.1 ... I thought your issue was about relaying though ?

Well yes... I host my own servers and my ISP requires authentication for outgoing SMTP AND ArgoSoft relays the mail using my DNS Servers. That is my problem

Ok lets take a step back. Can you just confirm exactly how you've got things setup and what your trying to achieve I don't know where your ISP servers now factor into this. Are you simply forwarding all your outgoing SMTP traffic to your ISP?

Yes BUT the Argosoft doesn't always send it via SMTP 25 it sometimes will send it directly to the person through my ISP's DNS servers

I'm not sure why your bringing DNS Servers into it, mail is sent via mail servers, your server may query your ISP's DNS Servers to find the address of the destination mail server, but it will still send it directly to the other end unless you've specifically told it to send via your ISP instead.

Argosoft WILL always send your email via "SMTP 25" how it decides which IP to send it to is where DNS comes into it. If your local DNS doesn't hold the address then obviously it has to go outside to find it, and thats why it talks to your ISP's DNS. This is quite normal behaviour.
