SMTP relay server
I've just had to make an SMTP relay server for a windows 2008 server box, and it wasn't as straight forward as i thought it would be.
First of all, in the Server Manager you have to add a 'feature' and add the SMTP functionality. Second of all, you probably want to add an exception to your firewall for SMTP (usually port 25). Lastly, however, and this is the annoying part, you have to install the IIS 6.0 manager, if you havent done it already. Basically, you use this tool to enable SMTP, and configure it's users in the same way that you would have with windows 2003 server.
Not sure why it's configuration wasn't included with IIS 7, but that took a little work for me to find.
