Inbucket
Email testing server that accepts mail for any address over SMTP and shows it in a web interface, with REST and POP3 access.
Inbucket is an email testing server. It accepts mail for any address over SMTP, stores each message as a file on disk, and shows the messages in a web interface with REST and POP3 access. Applications send their mail to its built-in SMTP server, and developers read the result in the browser. It is written in Go, and the project’s pages describe running it as a daemon, from a compiled binary or from a Docker image.
