I am looking for SMTP server software. I would like to add an SMTP server to my machine running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Note that Windows has a built in feature I could turn on. The problem is that it needs IIS running for it to work. I do not have IIS installed on the server, as I have Apache 2.4 running instead.

What software can I use to turn SMTP server on my Windows machine?
