Simple mail server

[ryy705]

Hello,
I would like to set up a simple mail server on my computer. I want to create a web site and test it on my computer before I upload it to a real server. I don't need a full blown mail server for this purpose, just one that sends out mails when php mail() function is used.
I searched the forum and found posts regarding how to install mail servers that take care of all the people in a company, I don't need anything that complicated. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out. Many thanks in advance.

This is a new area for me, but Courier seems to be one program that it is in the repositories. http://www.courier-mta.org/

Also, Zimbra may be a simpler choice if you're just playing around.
