Personally, I kind of dislike smartermail... granted I'm not using the latest version, but we've switched over from smartermail to sendmail (on linux). There are just too many issues in the implementation of Sendmail. For one thing, the administrator can go and view everyone's passwords. Not sure if this was fixed in a later version, but this is a no-no in my book. Also the way it handles aliases made it create thousands upon thousands of folders on our windows server, and we all know how well windows handles thousands of folders.
I know it doesn't help if you have to host on windows, but u never know, it might be an option for you. Sendmail has been the standard for mail on linux for a long, long time, and its' not that hard to set up if you're using webmin or something. You can always throw up something like SquirelMail for webmail, and you're set. And you won't have the performance/security issues of smartermail. Why are you looking to host it on windows in the first place?
