Recently I was writing and testing a channel that would send an email alerting a provider if one of their patients were admitted to an emergency room or urgent care clinic. While I was testing the channel I didn't want the emails to leave my sandbox, and I also didn't want to go through the set up of a whole email system just for a single channel.
As a solution I came across a really nifty java app called FakeSMTP.
FakeSMTP intercepts all email traffic sent through localhost and simulates a full smtp server. All I had to do was double click the jar and set my instance of Mirth to use localhost as the smtp server.
Once I had done that I was able to see all the emails Mirth was sending and even open them in outlook to see how they would actually appear.
You can get FakeSMTP here.
Amazing. I'll be using this!
