A Flask-based web application for testing SMTP server connections and sending test emails

SMTP Tester

A Flask-based web application to test SMTP server connections and send test emails. This tool is designed to help developers and system administrators verify SMTP server configurations with a user-friendly interface and AI-powered chat support.

Overview

SMTP Tester provides:

• Testing of SMTP server connectivity with security options (None, SSL, TLS, Auto).
• Sending test emails to verify sender and recipient addresses.
• Real-time chat assistance powered by OpenAI.
• Email address validation before sending.
• Secure form submissions with CSRF protection.
• Configuration of sensitive settings via .env file.

This project is open-source under the MIT License and welcomes contributions from the community.

Demo

SMTP Tester features a sleek, dark-themed interface with a form to input SMTP details and a live chat for troubleshooting. Run it locally to see it in action, or check the Issues page for planned UI enhancements!

Installation and Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)
• Git (for cloning the repository)

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Mrv3n0m666/Smtp-Webtester.git
   cd Smtp-Webtester
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Create a .env file in the project root and add your OpenAI API key:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-your-api-key
   

4. Run the application:

   python smtpWEBtester.py
   

Usage

1. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000.
2. Fill in the SMTP server details:
   • SMTP Host: e.g., smtp.example.com
   • Port: Common ports are 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
   • Security: Choose None, SSL, TLS, or Auto
   • Username: Your SMTP username (e.g., [e-mail])
   • Password: Your SMTP password or API key

Notes

• Ensure your SMTP server supports the selected security protocol.
• Email addresses are validated to prevent errors.
• The form is protected against CSRF attacks.
• For production, configure a secure environment and disable debug mode (debug=True).

Roadmap

We aim to make SMTP Tester more robust and feature-rich. Planned features include:

• Support for multiple recipients in a single test.
• Test history stored in a local database.
• Integration with alternative AI chat providers (e.g., xAI Grok).
• Automated tests with pytest.
• Deployment guides for platforms like Heroku or Docker.
