→How do I set up Bugzilla to use the Windows SMTP service?: how to prevent spam
In order to allow anonymous outbound messages, open the Computer Management console from Control Panel > Administrative Tools, open the Services and Applications branch on the left, Open the Internet Information Services branch, right-click on Default SMTP Virtual Server and select Properties. In the Access tab, press the Relay button, and select '''All except the list below''', and leave the list empty. Uncheck '''Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay...''', and press OK.
In order to limit the computers that can connect to the SMTP server to the one running Bugzilla, and so prevent the possibility of turning your machine into a spam bot, you should add the IP address of the Bugzilla server to the list (or the IP range of your LAN, if you want to allow others on your network to send mail from this server), via the '''Add...''' button.
If the server is not a member of a domain, outgoing messages will have the name of the server on the local network as the domain part of outgoing messages' "From" field. This will prevent the message from being delivered to most e-mail services. To correct this, open the Delivery tab and click the Advanced button. In the '''Masquerade domain''' field, enter the domain of your ISP, or whatever domain you use to receive email and click OK. While on the Delivery tab, you might want to shorten the time to the first delivery attempt, from 15 minutes to 1 (this parameter needs further investigation).
