Then you are al little bit off my patch :-)

Windows server 2003 and 2008 (and no doubt later) include an smtp server.
It may need to be enabled or added (add/remove programs).  You would have
to study the documentation yourself.  But the same principles will apply.
Unless you are using an upstream relay, you need to have a proper fully
qualified domain name and be sure not to accept incoming mail.

There are also a few opensource and freeware mtas available - google
"windows mail mta".  But I can not vouch for any of them so use at your own
risk.

If you are not using windows server edition then I really would strongly
advise that you do not use this machine as an internet host.

Can I ask (now that I know you are not using linux) where your requirement
is coming from to host a local mailer?  If it is just for dhis then you can
connect it to an external smtp relay service.  There are a few (google is
your friend).  Things like http://www.easy-smtp.com/ might meet your
requirements - free for lewss than 10000 emails per month.  Or mail chimp.
Again I am not endorsing either of these.  Just suggesting avenues to
explore.

Regards
Bob
