Catch, display and validate emails

CatchMe

CatchMe runs a simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run CatchMe, set your app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025, then check out http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the emails that arrived so far.

Features

• Catches all mail and stores it for display
• Validate email with campaignmonitor - http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/
• Download original email to view in your native mail client
• Command line options to override the default app and stmp port
• Email appears instantly in your browser via Socket.io
• Runs as a daemon in the background

Usage

Install catch-me:

npm install catch-me -g

Run catchme

catchme

If you need some specific ports just pass them here

catchme --mailPort 1234 --appPort 4321

If you like running all the things in foreman, pass true to --f

catchme --f true

Testing

Running npm test will run the unit tests with mocha.

catch-me's Issues

mails wont show up

i installed catch-me as described in the readme, running debian jessie/64bit, nodejs v0.10.29, browser is chrome v36 on windows 8.1.

catch-me starts and accepts mails, but they do not show up in the GUI. Are there debug-switches? Do you need any logs?

Installation issues

Hi

I am getting a large number of errors when I try and install via npm
npm install catch-me -g
as per the instructions. I've updated my node.js to the latest version 0.10.28 and I've cleared my npm cache npm cache clean but I still getting error when I try and install. Any ideas?
Example of the errors:

I'm using Windows 7.

Thanks,
James

After Clear, no emails appear to be received

The Catchme UI will quickly display new emails, but after clicking the Clear button in the top right corner it no longer displays any new emails. To get new emails to appear, a Quit and restart of the catchme process on the server is required.
