Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] SMTP server in development

Im working on an asp.net app for eventual deployment on a hosted
internet site.  Im currently in development with xp pro, pushing test
builds to a windows 2003
server.  A web site on the server is open to the internet for
customertest.  Nothing too fancy.

Certain behaviors in the app trigger emails using the System.Net.Mail
classes, and therein lies the rub - I dont have the knowledge or the
money to set one up,
and Im not sure Id want to do it if I could, Id rather focus on the
app.  The other apps Ive done have been on a corporate intranet, so I
had exchange and
the entire smtp infrastructure to work with.

What do you guys do for smtp while in development? Ive seen a vendor
that charges $24/yr for smtp (authsmtp.com) which doesnt sound too bad,
but Im not
sure if Im missing a better solution.

Thanks, Mark

P.s. Is this off topic?  It is a .net app, and more importantly Ive done
a lot of research and the results have been kinda disappointing.
