That largely depends on your OS.
If you're on Windows, there's a TON of free SMTP servers. I just use IIS
because it's as easy as popping in the Windows CD and I know well enough to
lock down the SMTP settings as to not have an open relay.
If you're on any of the *nix'es, it's hard to go wrong with sendmail.
