So I am trying to get my BES alerts setup. Do I need a separate SMTP server? If I do, is there possibly a free way of doing it? We just had our BES stop communicating with our main mail server after last nights back up and I didn't catch it till 9:30 this morning. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure on Domino but in Exchange we have a internal routing group setup that I use for BESalerts. I use BA combined with messageconfirmation as a poor man's way to validate BES functionality.
