  • docker-mailserver

    Production-ready fullstack but simple mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.) running inside a container.

    I really like https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver you can simply disable everything you don't need (clamav, spamassassin)

  • inbucket

    Disposable webmail server (similar to Mailinator) with built in SMTP, POP3, RESTful servers; no DB required.

    https://inbucket.org/ is very easy to host, does not require you to setup mailboxes, does not require any sort of database, has a built in webmail interface, and you can also grab via POP3 if you want to use a traditional mail client.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • MailHog

    Web and API based SMTP testing

    I found https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog for SMTP to and Webinterface and https://poste.io/ for easy mailserver.
