smtptester 0.1.6

A cross-platform graphical SMTP diagnostic tool

I spent a long time searching for a tool that would help me troubleshoot SMTP problems quickly and easily without having to resort to telnet. Finally, I gave up and wrote my own.

Features

• Tested on OSX, Linux, and Windows

• Graphical (no more telnet)

• Trace window showing live progress from DNS record look-ups through SMTP session

• Ability to override all DNS and SMTP settings

• Support for SASL and TLS

Installation

Install wxPython (preferably version 2.9, although success has been reported for 2.8 on some platforms)

# pip install smtptester

…or:

# easy_install smtptester

This should add an smtptester executable to your $PATH.
