Need to do some more research on this to ensure I didn’t goof up:

Interesting: this works through an on-line service that monitors up to 2 servers for free (including protocols like HTTP, SMTP and PING).
You can get reports at either through:
I’m using this to monitor my boxes at home.
A demo video is below.

When developing mail sending software, you don’t want all your test mails to proliferate in the world.
Luckily there are some SMTP servers and services that allow incoming mail, but don’t forward them:
I got two of them from the interesting Stack Overflow question How to Debug/Monitor SMTP Communications? and later I also found about development smtp server for windows.
Note that I also like smtp-cli that Tripp Lilley suggested in his answer: though not a server, it is a nice command-line tool for testing SMTP servers (for instance to see if you got the above servers/services configured right on your client side, or if you have configured your own SMTP server correctly).
The cross platform monitoring tools tcpdump and wireshark (formerly etherreal) are great tools, they are usually way too deep for most of the SMTP problems I encountered. But when the going gets tough they are invaluable, especially Wireshark as it has a great feature Following TCP streams.
I wish there were similar servers and services for POP3, that would have helped a lot with a Delphi Indy project I developed a while ago (:
