Easiest free email server for Windows development

Question

I'm developing a Java app on the Windows platform, and my application needs to send email. For development/testing purposes, what is an easy and free email server I can run on Windows?

Answer 1

If you're not running the low-end Home edition of Windows then there is a SMTP server built in (Install IIS and components).

But maybe you want a 'fake' server, one that only pretends to forward mail. Look for Dumbster or the .NET port NDumbster

Answer 3

I have had good luck with MailEnable. It's free and fairly easy to set up.
