This is a bit of a plug for the SMTP server I work on, but .. You can  
download, install and run SurgeMail for FREE for 30 days, or even get a  
FREE 5 user license :)

If you need any help with the server you can email me at work (the email I  
use here is my work address). If you need any help with any aspect of  
POP3, IMAP, or SMTP I can also help, just use the same address.
