Set IIS to forward your mail to the remote server. The specifics vary greatly depending on the version of IIS. For IIS 7.5:

3. Select the server node; you should see an SMTP option on the right in the ASP.NET section
4. Double-click the SMTP icon.
5. Select the "Deliver e-mail to SMTP server" option and enter your server name, credentials, etc.
