How to configure SMTP server in localhost with hMailServer
May I know the steps to configure SMTP server in localhost?I am using hMailServer to create a domain name call localhost,what should I put in catch-all address?Is it sender address?I used to try with admin@localhost but said that address is not valid. Thanks...

The catchall address is just the email address you want all mail sent to an invalid address to your server to go to. You could leave it blank or put a valid email address in there. In order to configure your server, you may want to read the documentation on their site. If you still need help, let me know how far you have got in the set up and I can walk you through the rest.
Hope this helps.

It does't allow me to blank the field somemore host name, localhost also behave invalid if blanked. Their documentation is more likely on configuration in real domain in lieu of localhost.

That's because the server is made for fully qualified domains, not localhost operations. However; with a fully qualified domain, you can still access the email through localhost. If you need an MX record, send me a PM or IM with your IP address and I'll set it up for you. Then, if you still need help configuring your server, let me know.
Hope this helps.
