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?

  • I think you are asking about an SMTP client, not a server. – hmcclungiii May 13 '09 at 12:23

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

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