PHP + Apache + IIS/SMTP

Hi, i know that this is not necessary the best forum for that, but i need to get a real feedback and i guess you already faced the same issue as mine. basically, i develop php web application on windows XP platform. So i have apache 2.24 installed and PHP 5.2.4. now i would like to test if my application send emails, so i've checked my php.ini file and it seems ok. i tried to use IIS from windows to define a default SMTP server, but as my emails are not sent, i guess something is wrong with IIS. so does it exist a free SMTP server (similar that linux daemon) but running on windows XP ? if yes, where can i find it and what steps should i perform to be sure my emails are sent ? i do not want to transfer all my web application each time i want to test email sending... i would like to test it locally. How do you know where to find settings about ISS/SMTP to send emails ? thanks for your feedback. -- Alain ------------------------------------ Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008
