Can't send mail from a guest Windows Small Business Server 2008.

I have installed and successfully used Windows Small Business Server 2008 on my network. I thought that I would shut it down and try to install it on ESXi. I had to shut it down because you can't have two running on one network. The install completes without any problems. Everything works; however, I can't send mail. I have it set up exactly like I had my other SBS set up on the network. I use a smarthost and have everything set up properly for using a smarthost. Every time that I send an email, it ends up in the drafts folder and not sent. I can receive without any problems. I can send without any problems as long as SBS is a stand alone system and not a vmware guest system.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try to solve this problem?

My problem was that the time was off on my SBS2008. Even though it was 5:00pm, my SBS was showing a time of 11:00am. Once I adjusted my time through ESXi and RESET MY COMPUTER, all of the email in the draft folder was sent out and has been working fine ever since.
