Catch-all SMTP server + GUI

Question

I was reading this post about a NetBeans plugin which intercepts all SMTP traffic and stores it for display.

I find it a great tool for developing locally when you have lots of email interaction and don't want to create {x} accounts.

Is there any such cross-platform tool available outside of NetBeans?

Yes. I asked the same question a few weeks ago an got some good suggestions. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1006650/dummy-smtp-server-for-testing-apps-that-send-email — Patrick McElhaney, Jul 10 '09 at 14:03
Thanks, I managed to miss it. I just added 'cross-plaftorm' since all those apps seem to be windows-specific or without GUIs. Not really sure if my question should me merged into yours. — Robert Munteanu, Jul 10 '09 at 14:17

For JUnit testing I like to use Dumbster. It sets up a nice little server in your unit tests that holds the messages you send so you can then use JUnit assertions to validate your code is sending the right thing.

Thanks for the answer. It's a nice app, but if only it had a GUI. – Robert Munteanu Jul 10 '09 at 14:42

MailSnag is an Eclipse plugin that acts as a dummy SMTP server to capture and inspect emails sent out from an application during development. Each email can be viewed in a multi-tab editor displaying Text, HTML or raw format. A tab listing attachments is also displayed.
