Need a test SMTP server? Don't care to get thousands of emails from your tests?

Monday, October 20, 2008

Ever needed an SMTP server to use for testing, but you really didn't care if the email actually went anywhere? If so, be sure to check out Neptune (http://donovanbrown.com/post/2008/10/20/Neptune.aspx)

It's a cool little tool from a buddy of mine, Donovan Brown, that allows you to test SMTP functionality without having the SMTP actually relay the message further. I will definitely be putting this to use very soon myself. I don't know why someone didn't think of this earlier, hell I could have used it last week!

In a company I worked for a few years abo we used to use null@null.com as our standard "test" address...until we got a very rude email from admin@null.com asking us to stop sending so much mail (a test accidentally sent 20000 mails the day before):-)
