SMTP Server for MAC - Any suggestions?

I'm doing PHP development on my MacBook and have reached the email functionality of the book I'm using.

Are there any good SMTP servers for Mac?

Cheers,

Billy

CommandLineFu had this one liner to run an SMTP server on port 25:

sudo python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:25

This will run a fake smtp server on your local machine. It won't send anything, but will dump it to the console.

Old thread, but for anyone else landing here. I just found this app:

http://mocksmtpapp.com/

It's a super simple SMTP test server for mac osx. It comes with a very simply gui that allows you to see the messages you have sent. Obviously it's not a "real" server (i.e. it doesn't relay) but for simply testing sending emails it works perfectly.

But do you really need a SMTP-Server of your own?
