You'll be needing to speak to Jamie 'King of the bad trouser' Beeston.

Somone has given you duff advice. SBS 2003 comes with a pop3 connector for exchange.

The Cheek of it

If you want SMTP, you have two choices.

a) use the one that comes with IIS (not a good idea if you're on a DSL link as alot of these aren't treated too kindly in the anti-spam lists / your ISP may find you in breach of their AUP

b) get a hosting account which provides you with an SMTP server.

The Reg1 VDS and VDS Pro accounts both offer SMTP (and pop3/imap/webmail/php/mysql/the moon on a stick/etc) from £33 a year!

Check my profile for more info.

Bugger - I missed that option. I'd best go claim it
