mailhole 0.0.1

A simple application to test email sending functionality

The application starts two servers:

• a simple SMTP server that when it receives an email saves it into a file in JSON format;

• a simple HTTP server that serves files in the directory where SMTP server puts them.

Default behavior is to listen on 127.0.0.1:4025 for SMTPconnections and 127.0.0.1:4080 for HTTP connetctions, write email files into current directory and log to STDOUT. All of these settings can be overridden with command-line options. Also a configuration file can be specified.

Help:
