I am developing a prototype for a web portal. I need to see whether e-mails are being sent automatically to users when they sign up. What software could I use to setup a local SMTP server to handle this. Detailed instructions on how to have a trouble free installation will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you're not actually setting up accounts, you could install IIS with the SMTP gateway. Then all you might have to do is up the logging to see if there is an attempt to connect, etc.

We use http://mailtrap.io in development and staging environment.
It is platform-independent and doesn't require you to run your own SMTP.

It offers:

* All emails in one place
* Shared access for dev team to the inbox
* Developer tools to analyze emails
* Flexible configuration
