POP3 Server Stub is designed to test e-mail messages, the way how they look in your email client software and how they are passed through different filtering programs such as Email Not HTML or anti-spam software. You can change not only the body of the message but also the headers.
It also may be useful for those who develop POP3 client software.
The program listens on some TCP port and supports POP3 protocol (RFC 1939). The only difference between real POP3 server and this stub is that POP3 Server Stub supports only one mailbox consisting of one message. It always tells an e-mail client that it has one message. This message is taken from the file provided by the user.
The program is a console program (runs from a command prompt).
Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP.
No specific installation is required. Simply unzip the distribution and put the files into the folder of your choice. Please always extract ZIP file prior the use, do not run the program from inside ZIP file.
prompt> mailtest --port=7000 --file=1.txt
Arguments are optional. Default values: port = 110, file = "message.txt".
After launching program starts listening on the specified port. It accepts all connections from email clients and sends them only one message, which is read from the file. You can change the message on the run. The program doesn't put a lock on the file and re-reads the message every time it is retrieved.
The server accepts connections only from the local computer. Therefore you must use IP address "127.0.0.1" or the word "localhost" as its address. The program is multithreaded and can handle several connections simultaneously.
It doesn't matter what login and password do you use to connect to the program, it instantly gets into the transaction state. If your email client doesn't allow empty login and password settings, then use "ZZEE" for both :)
Note that the program follows the convention that CRLF (i.e. two bytes) is a line separator. Therefore the message that you provide must also use CRLF. This is should be OK for Windows users, your files must work without any modifications.
The program supports all basic and optional POP3 commands except UIDL.
USER, PASS, APOP commands always return OK. Therefore you can use any login and password value to connect to POP3 Server Stub.
LIST and STAT commands always return that there is one message in the mailbox.
RETR and TOP commands read the file and send the message.
DELE command always returns OK, while message [of course] is not deleted.
UIDL command is not supported, it returns ERR. This is done to allow to download the same message again.
NOOP, RSET, QUIT are also supported.
