test sending emails from SharePoint without smtp server

I am trying to test SharePoint's sending of emails - whether basic alerts or custom code (calling SPUtility.SendEmail). I tried specifying the smtpDeliveryMethod="pickup" as described here: Hidden Features of ASP.NET but it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone gotten that method of testing Sharepoint's emails working? Is there a better way?

I’m using Antix SMTP Server for Developers to test out my emails. It’s a dummy SMTP server which doesn’t send any real e-mails. But you still configure your SharePoint environment to use it as a SMPT-server, so you'll get a very realistic scenario.
