Show HN: MailMock – Simplified Email Testing for Developers I work at a software consulting company where we often face the challenge of testing email functionality in non-production environments. Typically, email sending is disabled in development and staging, making it difficult to verify whether emails are formatted correctly or even sent at all without making significant code changes. I experimented with self-hosting an SMTP server, but the maintenance overhead was too high. This led to the idea for MailMock, which offers a simpler solution: by simply changing the SMTP credentials, you can redirect emails without the need for server management or code rewrites. MailMock is a tool designed for developers to test emails in development and staging environments. It captures emails into dedicated test inboxes, allowing you to validate your app's or website's email flow. Features include multi-user collaboration and an email retention policy of up to 90 days, making debugging and testing easier. On the technical side, MailMock is built using C# for the backend, React for the frontend, and SQLite as the database. You can try MailMock by signing up [here]( https://bit.ly/40huIdm ). Once you sign up, you can create a project and immediately start testing by changing your SMTP settings to point to our service.
