SMTP server that saves all mail to a folder? [closed]

Answer 1

On windows you could use IIS server's default SMTP server. Add an alias to its domain for * (wildcard) should cause it to drop all mail forwarded to it into its drop folder.

Answer 2

You can use the standard smtp settings in your app or web.config and just specify what folder you want the emails to go.

<smtp
  deliveryMethod="specifiedPickupDirectory" 
  from="from address">
  <specifiedPickupDirectory>Your folder here</specifiedPickupDirectory>
</smtp>

This allows you to simply store the emails without an smtp server

Answer 3

Don't know about such "fake" SMTP servers, but in .NET you can force SmtpClient class to save outgoing mail to the specified directory.

Answer 4

I am years late to the party but this works great for me.

Having the .net email client just save the email and not send it does not answer the question if your code works. To tell if it works you must actually send it.

Answer 5

bit late on this one, but have you tried ssfd?

you can put it on your machine or on a network server, catches e-mails and pops them in a directory

Answer 6

It's fairly easy to do in sendmail or postfix - just configure the local delivery agent to be 'cat >> file'.
