Do any WSUS gurus have reports being sent to them through Exchange 2007

Am reliving my WSUS 3 days on a new box finally :)

Problem is, I can't get the email reports to work. We are running Exchange 2007 and I want it to send the report to an external address:

Here is the error:

Code:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpFailedRecipientException: Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay
   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow(SoapException soapException)
   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccessProxy.SendTestEmail(String emailLanguage, String smtpUserName, String senderEmailAddress, String smtpHostName, Int32 smtpPort, String recipients)
   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.EmailNotificationConfiguration.SendTestEmail()
   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.UI.SnapIn.Dialogs.EmailNotificationSettingsDialog.backgroundWorker_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)

I've tried setting the admin with "Send as" properties in AD and have set a new receive connector in Exchange with anonymous users ticked but still the same error.

Anyone?
 
From the operation guide ive been trauling through recently (along with the deployment guide)

Issues with E-Mail Notifications
If you are not receiving e-mail notifications after having set up your WSUS server to send them, you should check both the WSUS server's e-mail setup and the SMTP configuration on the e-mail server.
Troubleshooting the WSUS e-mail setup
In the WSUS administration console, click Options, and then click E-Mail Notifications. On the E-Mail Server tab, check the SMTP server name and port, the sender name and address, and the SMTP server authentication, if necessary. You can use the Test button to verify your settings.
Troubleshooting the SMTP server
You can refer to articles such as SMTP: Troubleshooting the TCP/IP Layer of the Mail Gateway (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81082) for more information about troubleshooting issues with the SMTP server.
