My dev system is on a closed network and I haven't had any need for an SMTP
server till now.

If anyone has any suggestions as to a free server program that I could use
(Linux or win) I would like that. I think I have sendmail up and running on the
Linux box but it seems to be a bit flakey (most likely because I don't know how
to make it work right).
