You can try to use the smtp server that you use to send email, but they
probably won't let you relay, so you'll have to send the messages as
yourself (your email) as well as send authentication information. If you
want to host your own smtp, you'll have to open port 25 and install
sendmail/qmail for *nix or Exchange/M-Daemon for Windows.

You could install a local mail server and test against that. And if you
want an all Java SMTP, POP3 and NNTP server, you could use Apache James
<http://james.apache.org/>. Don't know for the most recent version, but
James 2.1.3 requires less than 8Mb disk space on my system.

Is that a viable sendmail/qmail alternative?

Is that a viable sendmail/qmail alternative?

For development I'd say yes. To serve as a proven mail server for a
company, I would have my doubts.
