Finding contents of failed email sent from VBSCRIPT on Windows Server 2008 - vbscript

I made a dumb mistake and am hoping someone is smart enough to help me out of it :)
Using CDOSYS to send email from VBSCRIPT on an old web site. Switched servers; new host requires using a specific IP address for outgoing mail server. My previous host required simply "localhost" I failed to change that for a particular page. Analytics show me the form was submitted and, you guessed it, I would really like to have the contents of that failed email.
It never registered within SmarterMail, so it isn't in the logs there... Could at least part of the info be stored away in a log file somewhere? I was able to access the site logs and determine the IP address of the user that completed the form if that helps.
Thanks for taking the time and for any ideas!

It is possible it's in the local SMTP server's "badmail" folder. If it's not there, you're out of luck.

Can't connect with Filezilla

I just upgraded to the latest Filezilla version - and I can't connect to my websites. I keep getting a "connection timed out" error.
I discovered some sort of "Configuration" feature, so I gave it a try, but I can't copy and paste the results, because the screen closes when I try to copy the text (a very useful feature). However, it did say I had the "wrong external IP address."
I was invited to get the correct IP address on this page. So I typed in that value, but I still get the same results - a connection timed out error and wrong external IP address.
I can connect to my websites fine with Dreamweaver, but not with Filezilla. Does anyone know what the solution is? If not, can you recommend any other FTP clients, preferably something free (or very inexpensive) and user friendly?
P.S. I was going to ask this on Filezilla's forum, but I couldn't register because they don't accept registration from people using Google's e-mail service. WTF???
I would double check that FileZilla is defaulting to plain FTP (rather than SFTP, or some other protocol). If it is working properly in Dreamweaver I would open them both up and check to make sure the settings are all the same.
And if you would like to try a different FTP client I would recommend CyberDuck.

Server-Script for unknown access (Dropbox)

Is there a possibility to check up, when a file is opened etc. on a Dropbox account? I thought of a simple script on the server, which will send an automatic Mail to me.

Can't authenticate to YouTube Data API anymore

We have two sites setup using the same API Key for uploading videos, one is the public server, another is on my local machine.
Even though they both use exactly the same credentials, the one on the public server is not working anymore (we're using https://github.com/laplacesdemon/django-youtube), throwing an error that credentials are incorrect.
Weirdly, I don't know where can be the problem.
There was one thing on our server, though, we changed the location so the IP address has changed.
Might it be this?
The IP list on the Server Key settings on Google Console is empty, and on the APIs requests graph I can see requests but can't find any log associated with them or something like this to see what's wrong.
Anyway, I guess the access is somehow blocked and there is no way to unblock it.
If anyone experiencing same issue, just create a new YouTube account! The only way of solving it, apparently.

SMTP localhost unable to send emails to local domain but send to external domains works?

We have set up an SMTP server using IIS Manager 6. The website is managed through IIS7. It will send emails to any external email address, but emails to our own domain never leave the queue! We verified that we are able to perform an NSLookup of our own domain from that box, and we can.
Has anyone ever seen this problem before? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Just for anyone's knowledge: It ended up being a messed-up MX record someone set up a long time ago.

What does (Resolving Host) means?

I'm sorry if this is not a programmatic issue, i also may get many down votes for it, but i really need to know in details, what does (Resolving Host) means ?!
I'm trying to configure a connection to a web server hosting a friend's web site, and i'm developing a vb6.0 app. using WinSock.OCX tool, and one of its states is (Resolving Host) so i need to know what does it mean to be able to provide some code for it.
You don't have to handle that state. This is just the phase when WinSock.ocx is converting a DNS name (let's say www.dilbert.com) to the corresponding IP (184.106.169.31). This is handled automatically by WinSock, so you just have to wait.
WinSock might give you errors during this phase, because it could be that
the supplied domain name is/was no longer valid
the supplied domain name is invalid (92$!#d.com, for example)
the DNS server is not available (no network connection, for example)
