You can use SMTP4Dev

http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/

Just install it (it's a little program that runs in your task bar). No configuration is required from your development program end...

By default, I think it will just work with your code unmodified as it listens on your local host.

You'll get a nice taskbar popup notification when you send emails... just click on the notification to look at the actual contents of the email!
