问题
I'm coding in PHP w/ CodeIgniter and I'd like to test some of the features in my app that send emails.
For some reason, I couldn't send emails through my email account in my local server (XAMPP), and I also don't want some SPAM filter to think I'm spamming while I'm testing.
So is there any email service that I can use for testing purposes? preferably one that doesn't enforce SSL, since I have problems getting that to work on my local server.
Appreciate your help.
回答1:
As long as you're not sending out dozens or hundreds of test E-Mails, use whatever your everyday E-Mail provider is (e.g. GMail). Set the SMTP server of your mailing function to point to Google's. (I think SSL is optional with GMail, but I may be wrong.)
If your mailing library doesn't support using an external SMTP server, switch to a different one. But I think CodeIgniter has you covered there.

If you just want to test the application functionality, check out Papercut. This utility simulates the sending of email without having to set up a mail server, works great!
edit: had wrong link.

I like to set up a test SMTP service on my development machine and just send to that. There are several good options listed under this question.
