Don't need to, just use any SMTP server you like, it's not like working
with sockets on UNIX. Local, ISP, doesn't matter.

Why go to the trouble of simulating an SMTP server? Define a function
my_mail(), let it log to a file while testing, let it call mail() on
production, and you're set. Just one little change ( or pehaps even make
the function behaviour dependend on some enivronmental variables so it
automatically chooses the right action.
