Show HN: Ephemeral Postal – disposable email for developers

Hi all, here is a little project that I have been working on: disposable E-mail for developers.

Every page load gives you a new subdomain, and any valid email address can be used with that. There are a few API endpoints for polling the unified inbox for the subdomain, retrieving the latest emails, and retrieving the raw message body.

This is pretty useful for integration test scenarios - for example, a test case could involve a user signing up with a random email address. The test script can poll the inbox to ensure deliverability and check header and mail contents, etc.

Things are pretty bare-bones right now but wanted to put this out there in case there is interest in a more full-fledged service.

For those of you checking - this currently does not have DKIM/DMARC/SPF records because this is inbound-only, but I would appreciate reports if the lack thereof interferes with your deliverability.

Happy emailing.
