A self-hosted disposable mail service
In order to receive emails, your smtp server address should be made available somewhere. Two records should be added to your DNS records. Let us pretend that we want to receive emails at *@subdomain.domain.com
:
- First an MX record:
subdomain.domain.com MX 10 mxsubdomain.domain.com
. This means that the mail server for addresses like*@subdomain.domain.com
will bemxsubdomain.domain.com
. - Then an A record:
mxsubdomain.domain.com A the.ip.address.of.your.mailin.server
. This tells at which ip address the mail server can be found.
You can fire up Mailin (see next section) and use an smtp server tester to verify that everything is correct.
general way:
npm install && npm start
if you want run this inside a docker container
docker build -t denghongcai/forsaken-mail .
docker run --name forsaken-mail -d -p 25:25 denghongcai/forsaken-mail
