A simple local SMTP server [closed]

Answer 1

The javamail-file-transport saves emails to files instead of sending them through SMTP server.

See the javaMail extensions project on GitHub.

It adds file transport that allows:

• save mails to files in text format instead of sending them
• save mails to files in mbox format instead of sending them
• add log info instead of sending email

Answer 2

Option A.
amazing docker
https://hub.docker.com/r/mailhog/mailhog/
(gitHub - https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog)
This docker has two ports:
One port for sending SMTP e-mails (smtp://0.0.0.0:1025/)
A second port to the e-mail display on the web (http://0.0.0.0:8025/)

run docker:
docker pull mailhog/mailhog
docker run --name=mailhog -d -p 1025:1025 -p 8025:8025 mailhog/mailhog

Option B.
if you use with bamboo.mailer
add adapter: Bamboo.LocalAdapter
see Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug.

Answer 3

I prefer Fake SMTP for this. It's a desktop app (packed into jar file). Since it is written in Java, you can run it both from Linux/Mac/Windows

Answer 4

Try GreenMail. It's geared towards JUnit usage, but it should do what you need. You can run it in a JBoss instance or have your JUnit tests send mail to themselves, depending on your specific needs.

There are a few other similar bits of software out there, but that's the one I've used and was reasonably happy with it.
