How do I set up Craft to send emails from my local MAMP/Virtual Host X dev environment I'm developing a site locally using MAMP + VirtualHostX on Mavericks. I'm at the point in the project where I want to create some user accounts for clients, but I can't seem to get my mail set up properly so Craft can send emails from my local environment.

Has anyone done this same thing? Any advice for getting Craft emails working on a similar local dev environment?

Thanks!
These days I just use Mandrill.

It's simple to set up, free unless you're sending tens of thousands of emails, and you can continue to use it on any development (or production) machine without any configuration changes.

Just set the Mandrill SMTP settings in the Craft admin area, and you're done.
