This SMTP server catches all e-mail being sent through it and provides an interface to inspect the e-mails. *Note: this SMTP server is meant to be run locally. As such several security considerations (e.g. SMTP transaction delays) have been omitted by design. Never run this project as a public service.* [![Screenshot MailGrab](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5dc49eccac9a31f1970bfad6fa71a912dc5d1fb0999ba5ee3ea4fda3d73398c8/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4539714131734b2e706e67 "Screenshot")](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5dc49eccac9a31f1970bfad6fa71a912dc5d1fb0999ba5ee3ea4fda3d73398c8/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4539714131734b2e706e67) Project status -------------- [](#project-status) This project is currently working towards a first stable release version. The master branch of this project will always be in a functioning state and will always point to the last release. All active development should be based off the v0.4.0 branch. ### Current limitations [](#current-limitations) - Currently the project only supports unauthenticated smtp requests (without `AUTH` command) - No persistent storage - Because we currently only support in-memory storage the project may run out of memory when handling a lot of mails or mails with a lot attachments Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.1 Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Composer [](#composer) ``` composer create-project peehaa/mailgrab ``` ### Phar [](#phar) Download the latest phar file from the [releases](https://github.com/PeeHaa/mailgrab/releases) page. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Composer [](#composer-1) `./bin/mailgrab` will start MailGrab using the default configuration: - HTTP port: 9000 - SMTP port: 9025 *See `./bin/mailgrab --help` for more configuration options* Once the MailGrab server is started you can point your browser to `http://localhost:9000` to access the webinterface. If you send a mail to the server over port 9025 it will automatically be displayed in the webinterface. There are example mail scripts available under `./examples` (e.g. `php examples/full-test.php`) which you can run to test the functionality. ### Phar [](#phar-1) `/path/to/mailgrab.phar` will start MailGrab using the default configuration: - HTTP port: 9000 - SMTP port: 9025 *See `/path/to/mailgrab.phar --help` for more configuration options* Build and development --------------------- [](#build-and-development) ### NPM [](#npm) To get started run `npm install`. An NPM build script is provided and can be used by running `npm run build` in the project root. ### Building phars [](#building-phars) Currently all active development has to be based off the v0.4.0 branch. If you want to build a phar you can run the build script located at `./bin/build` which will create a new build in the `./build` directory. ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity21 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity53 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
