Your Server

Is there such thing as a home SMTP relay?

I have a TRENDnet TV-IP110 camera (IP Camera) that supports motion-triggered email alerts. You enter all of the mail settings into the camera's administration web page. Unfortunately, my Internet Service Provider (Sympatico) uses an Authenticated, SSL-Encrypted SMTP server on a non-standard port. Normally, this is great, since it lets me send email from anywhere using my ISP's SMTP server. The camera however does not support SSL. Is there a such a program (hopefully freeware) for either Windows or Linux that can create a local, unencrypted, unauthenticated SMTP server on my side of the firewall (to prevent misuse) which would then forward or re-send the email through my real SMTP server? I should think such a program would exist, but I am unable to find one, and not quite clever enough to write one myself.
