mail.Headers.Add("Message-Id",String.Format("<{0}@{1}>", Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "mail.example.com"));

I fixed this issue in C# with adding header in mail message.

Here is a quote from the homepage of smtp4dev: (https://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/)

Project Description

Windows 7/Vista/XP/2003/2010 compatible dummy SMTP server. Sits in the system tray and does not deliver the received messages. The received messages can be quickly viewed, saved and the source/structure inspected. Useful for testing/debugging software that generates email.

That means it will not send emails. Dummy smtp servers comes in very handy while development but to see actual emails you need real ones.
