A self-hosted disposable mail service.
In order to receive emails, your smtp server address should be made available somewhere. Two records should be added to your DNS records. Let us pretend that we want to receive emails at *@subdomain.domain.com:
- First an MX record:
subdomain.domain.com MX 10 mxsubdomain.domain.com. This means that the mail server for addresses like*@subdomain.domain.comwill bemxsubdomain.domain.com. - Then an A record:
mxsubdomain.domain.com A the.ip.address.of.your.mailin.server. This tells at which ip address the mail server can be found.
You can fire up Mailin (see next section) and use an smtp server tester to verify that everything is correct.
Copy config-default.json to config.json and put all your domains into variable domains in config.json.
general way:
npm install && npm start
if you want to run this inside a docker container
docker build -t denghongcai/forsaken-mail .
docker run --name forsaken-mail -d -p 25:25 -p 3000:3000 denghongcai/forsaken-mail
Open your browser and type in
http://localhost:3000
Enjoy!
