I have an app that sends emails and I want to test it under high volumes of traffic (not because it needs to send high volumes of emails - because I'm debugging a problem that occurs rarely and is related to the sending of emails). I want to send emails from the app, but via a SMTP server local to my development PC (so I don't look like a spammer), and preferably to a local destination, so that I'm not using tons of internet traffic.

What's the best (free) way to do this (Win XP SP3)?

Not sure why this was closed off topic as it doesn't seem to be. Anyway, here is a free email server you can run locally: hmailserver.com – Paul Nov 29 '11 at 4:16
Thanks Paul. @Random, I'd be interested to know of a better Stack Exchange forum for this question. Reading the FAQ, it seems to fit the requirements. – rossmcm Nov 29 '11 at 4:27
I agree with Paul. I've used testmailer and it works well for me. It runs completely local -- no Internet connection required. – sidran32 Nov 29 '11 at 4:28
