Many times we face problem testing email settings/code in our development environment if we don't have a SMTP server in our development environment.
There is a easy solution for it.
Use dummy SMTP server - SMTP4DEV available in CodePlex at following location -
http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/
Once it is launched, it sits in your system tray and listens on port no. 25 of your localhost (127.0.0.1) server. This helps in receiving and viewing messages and verifying their format/structure.
It however cannot be used for sending messages.
Detailed instructions for installing and using this nifty tool can be found at its CodePlex location.
