Before we begin with the installation process, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Download the most recent stable release of OpenSMTPD for Windows from the official website https://opensmtpd.org/download.html.
Unzip the downloaded file to "C:\OpenSMTPD" directory. In case you want to install it in some other location, you can modify the path accordingly.
Open "Command Prompt with Administrative privileges" or "PowerShell as Administrator."
Navigate to the directory "C:\OpenSMTPD\bin."
Run the following command to install OpenSMTPD as a Windows service:

To start the service, run the following command:
net start smtpd
To stop the service, run the following command:
