Mail Save
Save emails to a file. It can be used as a replacement for sendmail or a SMTP server.
You can install it with pip install mailsave or pip install --user mailsave
You can also use the single file version. Since mailsave only needs the standard library, you don’t have anything to install.
It is different from other tools like maildump because:
It is very minimalist: no Web or GUI interface, just files.
It can be used instead of sendmail.
To use in place of sendmail, just put the path to the mailsave executable instead of the sendmail one. For instance, in a php.ini file:
sendmail_path = /home/jenselme/.virtualenvs/test/bin/mailsave --dir mails
To use as an SMTP server, launch it like this:
mailsave --server --dir mails
Then you can send it emails with the SMTP protocol:
swaks --to user@example.com --server localhost --port 2525 --add-header "X-Custom-Header: Swaks-Tested"
To view the full help, use:
mailsave --help
Written for Python 3.5+.
