Mailtutan

This is a repository for Mailtutan, a SMTP server built in Rust. The server allows you to simulate an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server for testing and development purposes without actually sending emails to real addresses.

Features

• Simulates an SMTP server locally for testing and development.
• Logs all incoming emails, including the headers and body.
• Provides a web interface and REST API to view the list of emails.
• Supports multiple client connections simultaneously.
• Supports real-time updates using WebSockets for the web interface.
• Lightweight and efficient implementation in Rust.

Installation

Cargo

cargo install mailtutan

Docker

docker run -p 1080:1080 -p 1025:1025 -d mailtutan/mailtutan:latest

Configuration

By default, Mailtutan listens on port 1025 for SMTP and logs incoming emails to memory. The web interface is available on port 1080. However, you can customize the server configuration by supported parameters and environment variables

Usage

To send emails to Mailtutan, configure your email client or application to use the server's IP address or hostname and the configured port number. Any emails sent to this server will be captured and logged.

You can access the web interface to view the list of logged emails by navigating to http://localhost:1080 in your web browser. Additionally, a REST API is available at http://localhost:1080/api/messages to programmatically access the email data.
