a method i have used in the past is to have the configuration for your SMTP server in your web.config or app.settings.json and when you are performing local development point it towards a local instance of https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog or equivalent. This will catch all the emails you send without every having to worry about actually letting them out into the world

Your code would remain unchanged which is the best part.
