Note that, AFAIR, ssmtp is only for sending out mail, preferably just to a
smarthost, rather than acting as a mailserver.

If you want a mailserver on your host, you're probably better off running a
proper piece of Windows software.  For example exim runs on Windows as far
as I can tell from a *very* quick look around their website... www.exim.org.

Thanks again,

I've been looking around, but in the end I think I will want to go for
a small Linux box or perhaps just install Linux in a vmware shell on
my PC... OR vice versa. Thanks anyway.

BTW: I found that ArGoSoft had a mail server with unlimited number of
users for free and that was the only product I managed to install in a
matter of minutes.

Thanks,
  Søren
