The Dumbster is a very simple fake SMTP server designed for unit and system testing applications that send email messages. It responds to all standard SMTP commands but does not deliver messages to the user. The messages are stored within the Dumbster for later extraction and verification. The Dumbster slots itself very easily into your testing strategy. As long as your application talks to an email server using SMTP then the Dumbster can be used to test the application with no code changes.

Is this project even still alive? I tried it out a couple of years ago, and ran into some problems... and it looks like no new versions have been released since then (it's been 2 and a half years...), so I'm guessing the problems are still there.

And why not http://www.icegreen.com/greenmail/ ?
Quote from GreenMail site:
The implementation is in 100% Java with no library dependencies other than javamail.jar and activation.jar
Implementation is efficent with no polling wait loops etc compared to http://dumbster.sourceforge.net which only supports SMTP testing, and so with a messy API.
