SMTP Server

Hiya all,

I'm trying to create an SMTP server relay in IIS 6.0 so that I can use
PHP's 'mail()' (http://www.php.net/mail) function. I want all mail to
me sent to a different SMTP server for handling. I have an SMTP server
on paid host which requires authentication.

The problem is that with the php.ini file there is a setting for the
SMTP server address and port, but none for authentication. I understand
that SMTP server with in IIS can authenticate based on IP address.

So how can I set up an SMTP Virtual Server in IIS 6.0 to route all
email generated by PHP to my paid hosting which requires
authentication?

I've searched all over and cannot find a guide that works. I also have
not enabled port routing with in Routing & Remote Access, does the port
needed to be forwarded to 127.0.0.1 for SMTP to work? Bearing in mind
that the PHP scripts will be run on the same server?

Can anyone please give me a simple guide as to how I should setup up an
SMTP Virtual Server to acomplish my goal?


Thank you all for your time,

Brent Newbury
