Why is my SMTP server not working?

Check whether there is network access from CSO to the SMTP server. Check whether the firewall is blocking SMTP traffic to SMTP server or whether the ports are blocked. If the server settings and authentication settings are correct, check whether the firewall is blocking port 587 and 465 and SMTP traffic.

There are a few:

  • SMTP Impostor (formerly Antix SMTP Server), NuGet package - looks very good
  • Dumbster - fake SMTP server under Apache license

Or you can also set it up in your web.config to just store the e-mails in the file system (the config way of what "silky" has proposed in code):

<system.net>      <mailSettings>         <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">            <specifiedPickupDirectory               pickupDirectoryLocation="c:\temp\mails\"/>         </smtp>      </mailSettings>   </system.net>
