docker-fakepop

Docker image for fakepop.

fakepop is a fake pop3 daemon. It returns always the same messages to all users, it does not care about usernames and passwords. All user/pass combinations are accepted.

How to use

• Create a directory which will contain the emails that fakepop should serve.

  mkdir ~/fake_emails

• Put all messages that you want fakepop to deliver in the ~/fake_emails directory.
  Some filenames are not considered as messages:

  • filenames begining with '.' (hidden files)
  • filenames begining with 'readme' (case insensitive)
  • filenames ending in '~' (backup files)

• Run fakepop by mounting your email directory. It will run as daemon in the background.

  docker run --rm -d --name fakepop -v ${PWD}:/etc/fakepop -p 127.0.0.1:110:110 gschlager/fakepop

• You can stop the daemon with

  docker stop fakepop
