If you want a Windows app to do these things, take a look at Mailwall from
Omniquad.
Does all this and more at a reasonable price. Excellent spam/relay/rbl
capability, excellent control of what is sent and received.

The key module, postfix, only runs on *nix.
You should be able to build an equivalent using sendmail for NT as
mail-relay only:
http://www2.sendmail.com/products/routing/nt/techinfo/ $495
"Anti-Spam Tools
* Relay control options to specify what hosts or domains are allowed to use
the sendmail server as a mail relay
* The Access database file specifies domains, users, or IP ranges that are
allowed or rejected entry into sendmail
* The Mail Abuse Prevention System's Realtime Blackhole List (MAPS RBL) is
a third party database of known domains and IP addresses where spam has
originated
* Per message sizing and recipient limits to reduce MTA processing volumes"
... plus they sell sendmail polo shirt, $19.95 and pocketknife, $9.95
Be warned, sendmail has a formidable reputation as a bear to configure.

That's been done, both for Imail logs, by Martin Jaggi at lan.ch:
http://mrtg:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mrtg/download/imrtg09.zip,
and for IMGate by Clarksville.com (MRTG-how-to asked for but not made
available by them yet):
