MockSMTP.app - e-mail testing for Mac OS X

It would be great if this app provided some other functionality that helps with problems like that.

For instance, MailChimp takes CSS styles and modifies your HTML by placing your CSS into inline style tags. This is great, because you can have cleaner markup but still support clients that don't apply CSS well.

This is not the goal of mocksmtp. It's for first level testing. Checking html and correcting rendering with webkit. Then of course you need to test other mail/weblmail reader or with litmus as mention before.

It's like make HTML/CSS for a webpage. First level, you create you HTML/CSS code and test it with Firefox usually. Then when you are happy with, you check safari/chrome and debug IE :).

If I understood well:

1/ it works offline (think git vs svn) - so you can work in a train for instance

2/ if you test your app with real data (ie: many different emails), you're sure no email will go out by mistake

3/ you can use as many recipients as you want (with any kind of address) and see the emails right away

I could be wrong though - my understanding!

Because if you use a real smtp server: - Sometimes setup are not easy (like using gmail in a rails app) - It's not instant - You need a internet connection.
