mercury/32 configed as a SMTP Relay

[quote user="scubalg"]

i own the website www.livinggods.com witch is a PHP based website it has a mail server built into it for example the user registration on the website requires a relay to mail things to other address. mail comes in from DONOTREPLY@livinggods.com and sends it to XXXXusersaccountXXX@yyyy.com

the server is a windows 2003 server and is not configed as a domain controller and does not have any local area networks. Its strickly a web hosting server, which runs our clan website, teamspeak 2 server, FTP server, MySQL Database, and Call of Duty 4 server

i do not want to setup mailboxes i just want the SMTP to relay the mail

You can do this.  You would run MercuryS as the SMTP host and MercuryE as the sender.   Your PHP application could send mail to local host if Mercury/32 was running on the server. 

I would worry about relaying for spammers though since many of these web based application are not very good about controlling what is sent to the relay host.  If the spammers were able to take over this web site then your system would very shortly be blocked by every black list out there.
