You don't typically unit test a mail server. That's a deployment/configuration issue. If you're using JavaMail or Jakarta Commons Email to send your emails, you can be pretty sure that the emails will go out if your mail server is available and configured properly.

The way I have to do it right now is by having the email sent to me and checking my email manually. I would love to have it all automated though.
