I recommend this solution too. I've been using VPOP3 myself, and it works
great:

VPOP3 is also about $40 with a 30-day trial. It has a POP3 server as well as
SMTP, but you can just use whichever part of it you need. It also has
security features; I'm not sure how they compare with Advanced Direct
Remailer.
It makes things so much more convenient and flexible when you have your own
SMTP server on your local machine!
