Sends a test email via SMTP, and checks that it was received via IMAP
Project description
This packages sends a test email via SMTP, and checks that it was received via IMAP. Requires Python 3.x, since the stdlib in 2.x is missing too many features in this area.
Usage
Create a configuration file:
[default] recipient = test@example.com smtp_host = smtp.example.com:25 imap_host = imap.example.com:143 imap_username = test@example.com imap_password = secret
Now run mail-check-roundtrip example.conf. It will send a message with a random string in the X-Mailcheck-Token header, and then poll until receive_timeout to see if a message with that string was rececived (this message is then deleted). The exit status is 0 if sucessful, 1 on errors (e.g. connection failed) and 2 if the message could not be found.
Options
The following configuration options are supported and these are their defaults:
[default] recipient = # REQUIRED from = # defaults to recipient headers = # default empty Subject: This is a test X-Custom-Header: one smtp_host = localhost:25 smtp_ssl = starttls # or `ssl` or `none` (not recommended) smtp_username = smtp_password = imap_host = localhost:143 imap_ssl = starttls # or `ssl` or `none` (not recommended). imap_username = # REQUIRED imap_password = # REQUIRED imap_folder = INBOX poll_timeout = 60 poll_interval = 10 poll_delete = true # Delete the message after it was found loglevel = WARNING # This means no output for a successful run.
