Hi,
In this post we are going to see how to install a DevNull SMTP server for our development/testing environment...
Many of us as developers would always encounter a situation during development/testing, the mailing feature of the application. We have different ways of setting up SMTP Server locally but those are very time consuming or the server package would require a lot of configuration to be done.
But with DevNull it will be like a cake walk to have SMTP server installed locally with minimal or no configurations.
For details you can refer the following site to have more details about DevNull
Official Site of DevNull
Let us go straight into the business of installing DevNull SMTP server in our development/testing environment
Direct Link : Download DevNull SMTP Server
2. Open an terminal and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded DevNull server package
3. At the prompt, fire the command as given below...
the result of the command execution would result something like the image given below...
the GUI has three important parts to be talked about....
1. The Listening PORT
2. Control to start the server
3. Place holder to save the mail messages
The port and place holder items are configurable and we can change that anytime according to our needs.
The default port is "25", in order to have the server run make sure you do not have any service running at port 25, if you have then change the port value of DevNull SMTP Server to any other value other than "25" eg "2025"
DevNull provides another option to have the server run as console application, to achieve that run the following command at the prompt..
The above command comes with a variety of switches whose discription is given below...
'-d' switch : Holds domain names from where the email comes
'-p' switch : Holds the port value of the server
'-s' switch : Holds the location where mail messages are stored.
'-h' switch : List the options with its descriptions.
Command with '-d' Switch
the '-h' option would list down all the options that server contains...
Well this concludes the installation of DevNull SMTP Server
Hope you had good time reading it.
Thanks.
