Inbucket

Inbucket is an email testing service; it will accept messages for any email address and make them available to view via a web interface.

It allows web developers, software engineers and system administrators to quickly see the emailed output of ther applications. No per-account setup is required! Mailboxes are created on the fly as mail is received for them, and no password is required to browse the content of the mailboxes.

Inbucket has a built-in SMTP server and stores incoming mail as flat files on disk - no external SMTP or database daemons required.

• Parse MIME multipart emails
• Display the content of a particular message
• Display the source of a message (headers + body text)
• Display the HTML version of a message (in a new window)
• Delete a message

It does not yet:

• Display or download attachments

Installation

You will need a functioning Go installation for this to work.

# From the base of your GOPATH...
go get github.com/robfig/revel
go get github.com/jhillyerd/inbucket
go build -o bin/revel github.com/robfig/revel/cmd
bin/revel run github.com/jhillyerd/inbucket

By default the SMTP server will be listening on localhost port 2500 and the web interface will be available at localhost:9000.

Inbucket's configuration can be found in the inbucket/conf/app.conf file.
