Hi ,

I am planning to do "sending email from MIDP devices using SMTP " project for MIDP enabled devoces (i am writing for mobile phone )..Since i am not having industrial experiance.... i am not getting how to test this application in my computer....I hope we need server(Like yahoo or gmail ) which will store email..how and where can i get email server which uses SMTP protocol for message transmitiom....
I hope we can test application without going for real server....i dont know how.
If anybody knows how to run or having any links for this material then please assit me......

You can work with javax.microedition.io.SocketConnection for socket connections, then deliver SMTP over it.

You can run a local SMTP server. If you are using linux its as simple as starting sendmail. On windows, look into window SFU at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx.

I have a linux server on my network that it used for testing applications which need email.

There are plenty of options. You can talk directly to the SMTP server that handles you mail as long as the mail is addressed to you email address (or any and other mailbox that is handled by the server).

Spam controls may be a problem. Some servers require reverse DNS listings and/or IP blacklists.
