Mailtrap

This Docker image will listen on port 25, and do nothing else than responding to SMTP traffic in a valid way, and piping incoming emails to stdout.

To run:

docker-compose up -d
docker logs -f mailtrap

Use case: getting a startssl cert

If you want to get a StartSSL cert for a domain you just registered, do the following:

• run this mailtrap on a server
• set the MX record to e.g. mail.domain.com. (priority e.g. 10)
• add an A record for mail to the IP address of the server where you are running the mailtrap
• In the domain validation wizard, pick any email address (e.g. [email protected])
• Check the docker logs and copy-and-paste the validation token from it
