SMTP server as a Windows service with Indy???

I am looking for a way to solve my email sending problems where my ISP
has now gone to content filtering *outgoing* mail such that I can no
longer send attachments with exe files in them. Such attachments makes
the message blocked by the ISP. Stupid but true.

So I am looking to create a SMTP server using Indy9 and Delphi 7.
What I need is a service app thta I can install on a W2K server I have
on my LAN and which will have the sole task of sending mail on to the
destination. THen I figured I can change my mail client settings to
point to this server instead of smtp.myisp.xx, which sucks nowadays.

So is there any good examples on how to do this or is there an
opensource SMTP server project somewhere developed with Delphi and
using Indy?
