SMTP server

["Alain Roger" <raf.news@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.

thanks for your feedback.
