Email server for parsing all messages it receives

<p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I just wanted to see if anyone knows any packages that may be helpful in a task I have to take up for work. For Email verification, after someone logs in we send a link to their email to verify. All they have to do is click the link. For test automation, the solution they want me to try out is to write an SMTP server that takes in any message it is sent, parses it, and does an HTTP GET on the link. Are there any projects I should look into extending or will I need to start from scratch?</p> <p>EDIT: I forgot to mention that it will be handling hundreds of accounts which is why our solution is to just accept any email it receives so that our functional and load tests can just make up accounts</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>SlideNinja: <pre><p>Tryout go-guerilla (<a href="https://github.com/flashmob/go-guerrilla" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/flashmob/go-guerrilla</a>)</p></pre>lovetocode: <pre><p>I have a question rather than an answer and is in no intention of being snarky -- I am just curious because I don&#39;t really understand the logic and would like to better understand the underlying purpose of this test.</p> <p>Isn&#39;t standing up an SMTP server overkill for this type of test? You mention that you are testing the functionality of the email verification process but how do we know that the tests are not failing because of the SMTP server? The SMTP server, to my understanding, will only be used in testing. Can&#39;t you test both the load and functionality organically within your application without the need of an extra layer of complexity? </p></pre>Holojack12: <pre><p>So it is not for one specific test per se. We just want a server that we can send many random emails irregardless of intended recipient since we can&#39;t use the same email address over and over.</p></pre>
