Catch-all SMTP server + GUI

I was reading this post about a NetBeans plugin which intercepts all SMTP traffic and stores it for display.

I find it a great tool for developing locally when you have lots of email interaction and don't want to create {x} accounts.

Is there any such cross-platform tool available outside of NetBeans?

MailSnag is an Eclipse plugin that acts as a dummy SMTP server to capture and inspect emails sent out from an application during development. Each email can be viewed in a multi-tab editor displaying Text, HTML or raw format. A tab listing attachments is also displayed.

For JUnit testing I like to use Dumbster. It sets up a nice little server in your unit tests that holds the messages you send so you can then use JUnit assertions to validate your code is sending the right thing.
