fake SMTP Mailtrap

Mailtrap

is a fake SMTP server for development teams to test, view and share emails sent from the development and staging environments without spamming real customers.

Mailtrap is a solution that allows testing email notifications without sending them to the real users of your application. It also lets you view all your emails online, forward them to your regular mailbox, share with the team and more!
Mailtrap is a product built by Railsware, a premium software development consulting company.

Integration: 

Simply specify Mailtrap as an SMTP server in your application's settings (either QA or development environments) and track all your e-mail notifications online.
 

Features: 

1. Extremely easy to set up:
   • no need to tune your mail server;
   • no need to clean up your database from the customers' email addresses;
   • no need to make any special tweaks in your application code.
2. Can be used for both development and staging purposes.
3. Is platform-independent. Since Mailtrap uses SMTP (not some special platform-dependant libraries), you can use it with any programming language and framework.
4. Built-in goodies for web developers.

Mailtrap renders emails in the same way browsers do, which means no additional stylesheet or CSS reset is applied by default. This makes Mailtrap 99% Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Mail compatible, since all of these mail clients are rendering the same way.

The max size of an email including attachments is 5MB. Exceeding this limit causes the error: '552 5.3.4 Error: message too big'

The SMTP rate limit is 3 emails per second for inbox. Exceeding this limit causes the error: '550 5.7.0 Requested action not taken: too many emails per second'
