SMTP Labs

SMTP Labs is an email testing service that receives test messages over SMTP and lets you inspect them on the web, through IMAP or POP3, or via an API. Messages remain in a sandbox and cannot reach external recipients. Inspection includes HTML and plain text, headers, MIME structure, raw source, and attachments. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks appear in the interface and API, while a deliverability audit reviews sender configuration, HTML, links, and content patterns associated with spam filters. The REST API covers domains, accounts, mailboxes, messages, and tokens; server-sent events can push new messages. SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 work without a vendor SDK. The Lite plan is free at free with one domain, 50 accounts, and seven-day retention. Pro costs $7 a month, and Max costs $20 a month, with longer retention and expanded domains or accounts. Email and account data are primarily processed in the United States.
