Hiya all,

I'm trying to create an SMTP server relay in IIS 6.0 so that I can use PHP's mail(
) function. I want all mail to me sent to a different SMTP server for handli
ng. 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 se
rver address and port, but none for authentication. I understand that SMTP s
erver 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 gen
erated 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 e
nabled 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 sc
ripts 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
