Simplify Email Testing

Testing sites which require individualized emails can be a drag. If you have your own email server, you need to create lots of emails. If you don't you have to think of great new names on Hotmail.

What if you didn't have to create fake emails? FakeSMTPServer implements a standard SMTP Server with one difference. Instead of delivering the email to the *real* address, it goes no further than the console window.

Try FakeSMTPServer today and simplify your email testing.

Features

Deliver to the console

Delivers directly to the console. No confusing mail clients to set up. You'll receive your email immediately.

Forward Everything to another Email Address

Email messages scrolling by faster than you can read them? Try forwarding them to your own email address. Headers remain intact, so you can see who the email was intended for.

Version 0.7 - Initial release to the public 03/26/2006

This is the initial release of FakeSMTPServer to the public. I've been using the product on and off for nearly a year now, so it should be working relatively well.
