This SMTP server offers basic functionality by responding to SMTP requests and storing received messages for future retrieval through queries. It is a straightforward solution for simple email management.
Dumbster is a software that can be used as a fake SMTP server for unit and system testing applications that send email messages. With Dumbster, all standard SMTP commands can be responded to, but messages are not delivered to the user. Instead, they are stored within the software for easy extraction and verification later.
Dumbster is an easy-to-use tool that can be integrated into your testing strategy without requiring any code changes. As long as your application communicates with an email server using SMTP, Dumbster can be used to test the application seamlessly.
Dumbster is useful in two main scenarios. Firstly, in system testing an application, it is crucial to ensure that all functionality is active and not stubbed out. Dumbster can respond just like a regular SMTP server, however, no email messages will be delivered to end users. This is essential when testing with real-world data, and verifying that the correct email messages would have been delivered to the end users can be done by querying Dumbster.
Secondly, when unit testing code that needs to send email, Dumbster can be used as a dumpster to collect all email and ensure real users do not receive the emails. Moreover, if the code being tested needs to deliver a specific set of email messages with precise content, Dumbster can be queried from within the unit test to accurately verify the correct delivery and content.
Overall, Dumbster is an excellent tool that can help you test your applications effortlessly, making it an essential asset for developers and testers.
