Best mail server for smtp relay forwarding

I want to build my own mail server on a Windows server, would rather not use exchange, would rather not require a windows domain, will not have any mailboxes, only need an SMTP server so that my websites can relay mail to the outside world for password resets and things like that.

What is a good solution?

I tried hMailServer but it just doesn't work.  The settings don't match the error I am getting and I do NOT want a troubleshooting puzzle, I just want a mail server that will work out of the box.

It doesn't have to be free, just has to do what I tell it to do, when I tell it to do it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you have email with your current ISP why not just use their SMTP service it should be free and should allow you to send email seeing that you are using their network..
