How to Setup Local Email Server

[ottge]

I am attempting to set up a localized email server on a Windows XP computer. The purpose of this is to have an email server that is on my computer and that will send email from my computer to my computer, with no network connections. Basically, I want to have the local email server send mail to a local email client, namely Outlook Express in this case, and receive it on my local machine. I am attempting to set up a demo, and would like to enable this functionality, but am unsure how to. Is this possible and, if so, what do I need to do to allow for this? Thank you.

I downloaded and installed Lacey Mail Server and was able to get this configured to do what I needed it to do by setting my email domain to localhost, and doing the same for Outlook Express.
