I'd like to have php's mail functionality enabled on my test machine. Doesn't this mean I need an email server? I've been looking around and the main one that seems to be what I need is Mercury Mail Transport System. Is this what I'm looking for?
I know this is a stupid question, but I'm not finding any good explanations of what I need to do here. I just want my test environment to process the email stuff in my php systems. They're getting complicated enough that throwing them on the remote server would be a pain - especially since the one I'm working on is for learning only and I don't plan on publishing.
Thanks.

Re: Enable php mail functionality on Apache on Win
You need an SMTP server. You don't have to install one though. Just set the "SMTP" setting in php.ini to point to your ISP's SMTP server.
