Sending mail from localhost with Apache

[bannostookaylo]

Im not sure if the title is descriptive enough if a mod can think of a better title then please change it for me (thanks in advance)

here is the deal;

I used vertrigoserv to set up a localhost here on my laptop to test my websites before i upload them to their prospective hosts on the web.

I would like to be able to test the forms on these websites on my localhost before I upload them.

Does anyone have a quick simple solution on how to do this? I thought i had found something and was hoping it would be as simple as changing a value in the php.ini file to mail.domainhost .com but it didn't work

I’m using a separate mailserver via SwiftMailer and it works from every environment (provided the correct settings and an internet connection)
