I'm currently working on a ASP.NET Core web app which includes password reset via email. I'd like to be able to test this feature before moving to production (obviously). How do I achieve this? I was thinking of using the IIS builtin SMTP server, but it seems they got rid of that.

I would recommend using hMailServer, it's a free opensource mail server you can install on your development machine. WebMail Pro ASP.NET actually offers a password change plugin for this specific server - which is something you'll probably need for the purpose of resetting user's password.

To test your ASP.NET Core password reset feature effectively, consider using a third-party SMTP service like SendGrid or Mailgun. They allow you to send test emails even during development without needing IIS's built-in SMTP server. You can set up a mock email service for quick feedback, ensuring everything works seamlessly before going live. Also, while you're testing, take a break and play Moto X3M for some relaxation!
