webmail4dev
webmail4dev is a CLI/service which starts a local smtp server (with no auth) and a web server that displays all emails received by the smtp server, meant for testing environments.
It is meant to be used as an web-based fake mail server for testing applications that send emails, such as SharePoint. Using such a mail server ensures that emails are not sent to real mailboxes, while making it easy for test users to read all outgoing emails at once.
It can be seen as a web alternative to Papercut or smtp4dev.
Installation
Requires nodejs 6.X minimum.
For Linux
Install and run the application :
# install the cli globally sudo npm install -g webmail4dev # either run the program in current thread # sudo is necessary to open port 25 sudo webmail4dev # or if you want to run it as a service, then start it sudo webmail4dev --installsudo service webmail4dev start
For Windows
os-service dependency compiles C++ code during install using node-gyp, which requires python to be installed and it's path to be registered in the node environment. The easiest way to meet these requirements on windows is to install windows-build-tools.
# FOR WINDOWS ONLY # requires "Run as administrator" prompt npm install --global --production windows-build-tools # install the cli globally npm install -g webmail4dev # either run the program in current thread webmail4dev # or if you want to run it as a service # requires "Run as administrator" prompt webmail4dev --installnet start webmail4dev
