I find MS SMTP isn't too bad. Certainly the features are limited as a = server, but as a relay (which is what we use it for) it works although = we're using it to relay to a separate MTA (powerMTA). It needs an = IISreset every day though in a scheduled task otherwise it chews up = memory.
I noticed it had trouble doing direct delivery to certain domains = (ironically MSN and Hotmail) last year however, so it's worth testing = first before your badmail queue builds up.
