This article will guide you through installing and setting up an SMTP server on a Windows Server. This allows your Windows based server to send email directly and commonly used when local applications need to send email notifications.
Port 25 needs to be open in order for it to receive mail from the internet. All mail servers will establish a connection on port 25 and initiate TLS (encryption) on that port if necessary. Secure SMTP (port 465) is used only by clients connecting to your server in order to send mail out.
If there is no outbound SMTP server, then the email message cannot be sent to the recipient and could even get lost in the conversion process. Along with relaying SMTP email messages, the server also checks whether an active or working email account is sending the outgoing message.
XMail or hMailServer should do the trick.
