My ISP blocks port 25 as most do.  I need to test out some sendmail code so
I need to be able to look at the email, as it gets received, to verify
everything.  I figure that the only way to do this is to set up one of my xp
computers to run POP3 and then, somehow, specify that server when I
sendmail.

I have been looking through msdn and everywhere else but I can't find any
docs telling me how to  set up POP3 on an xp computer or much of anything
else.

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,
T

Hi,

You don't need a POP3 server. Does your code do the actual sending, or
does it use an already existing SMTP server? If it do the sending, you
could just install SMTP on the development machine and send it to the SMTP
server. The emails will be available in the C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Drop
folder.

If your code uses a local SMTP service, you might need a remote server to
send to, and again, SMTP available in Windows XP works fine.
