API

SWUMailDev can be used in your Node.js application. For more info view the API docs.

var MailDev = require('maildev');

var maildev = new MailDev();

maildev.listen();

maildev.on('new', function(email){
  // We got a new email!
});

SWUMailDev also has a REST API. For more info view the docs.

Outgoing email

Maildev optionally supports selectively relaying email to an outgoing SMTP server. If you configure outgoing email with the --outgoing- options you can click "Relay" on an individual email to relay through MailDev out to a real SMTP service that will actually* send the email to the recipient.

Example:

$ swu-maildev --outgoing-host smtp.gmail.com \
          --outgoing-secure \
          --outgoing-user 'you@gmail.com' \
          --outgoing-pass '<pass>'

Auto relay mode

Enabling the auto relay mode will automatically send each email to it's recipient without the need to click the "Relay" button mentioned above. The outgoing email options are required to enable this feature.

Additionally, you can pass a valid json file with additional configuration for what email addresses you would like to allow or deny. The last matching rule in the array will be the rule MailDev will follow.

Example:

$ swu-maildev --outgoing-host smtp.gmail.com \
          --outgoing-secure \
          --outgoing-user 'you@gmail.com' \
          --outgoing-pass '<pass>' \
          --auto-relay \
          --auto-relay-rules file.json

Rules example file:

[
	{ "allow": "*" },
	{ "deny":  "*@test.com" },
	{ "allow": "ok@test.com" },
	{ "deny":  "*@utah.com" },
	{ "allow": "johnny@utah.com" }
]

This would allow angelo@fbi.gov, ok@test.com, johnny@utah.com, but deny bodhi@test.com.

Configure your project

Configure your application to send emails via port 1025 and open localhost:1080 in your browser.

  port: 1025,
  ignoreTLS: true,
  // other settings...
});
