Problem with SMTP mail code

I've been working on an ASP.Net web project.  (C#, VS2012).  I'm running Windows 7 professional and IIS 7.5.
I've been told to add the ability to generate emails to it.  I've never dealt with this sort of thing before. 
I'm been told that W7 workstations' IIS cannot have an SMTP component so I cannot run or test my code here.  I'd have to copy it over to a server and run it there. 
This is not an insurmountable problem but it is a nuisance. 
Any way around this?
Sorry.  Forget it.  False alarm.  I was given inacurate information.
