Node.js temporary email service

please, no spam

Simple Node.js temporary email service built with Koa, RethinkDB, Nodemailer, Pug, Bootstrap and Handlebars.js.

The app consists of two parts: a web frontend for viewing stored mail and a SMTP server which accepts messages and saves them in the database.

Use it now at pleasenospam.email

Features

• Real-time email notifications powered by RethinkDB changefeeds and server-sent events.
• Live email alerts using browser web notifications and favico.js.
• Full HTML email support sanitized with Google Caja.
• Multiple domain support.

Development

1. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/JoeBiellik/pleasenospam.git && cd pleasenospam

2. Install dependencies:

docker-compose run -e NODE_ENV= --rm --no-deps app npm install

3. Start the mail server:

docker-compose up -d mail

4. Start the frontend and watch for changes:

docker-compose run -e NODE_ENV= --rm --service-ports app npm run watch

Deployment

1. Follow the first two development steps.

2. Configure config/docker.json with any custom setting overrides

3. Configure docker-compose.yml with Docker options and ports to use

4. Start the production frontend, database and mail servers:

docker-compose up

pleasenospam's Issues

Is it normal to get a "None of the pools have an opened connection" error?

Some emails don't get processed and presented

I did 2 tests. Neither was displayed on the site. I really like your app and deployed it.
Sadly these issues are deal-breakers for me and I will move on for now, but I've stared your project as I'd love to deploy it again!

1. Emails with any attachments don't get rendered at all
2. An email with heavy HTML wasn't received. I used a 'Medium.com Daily digest' email. I don't know if this is helpful or not but here is the original eml file that represents the email I forwarded

There seems to be some issue with the server

Mail server crashes when recieving mail.

The app does not work for me (Forever loading screen)

Hi, your app was wonderful, but starting some years ago all I see is the loading screen only.
Tried in IE, Edge, Chrome

I really need it to recover my official email...
Please, do enable, at least for a day

Is site down?

Is site down? I can't get email. Please help me check. Thanks

Sorry, I am silly
Can you tell me where I did wrong ?
Thank you.

Need Heroku Support

Kindly add support for deploying to heroku

Test e-mail is misleading.

It's more like 'test mail server connection'.

Dunno how I would improve this. A small info icon, actually implementing a test system, or something else.

I'm getting this error. Is there a fix?

https://pleasenospam.email down

Getting "Something has gone wrong!" error

I've visited your demo site and received this error. Is something wrong?

Configuration with Traefik

Hey, looking to deploy this with Traefik, but any ideas how would you forward the incoming mail, when there is an another mail server (with different domains) running on the same server? DNS config?

pns.email: SSL expired

:thonk: I didn't find a point in dedicating a domain to it, but am an active user :)

Why does pns need canvas data?

TLS cert expired on 2021-01-07

How to set the email storage time.

like delete any received email from 2 days ago

do you have an api for this for nodejs?

do you have an api for this for nodejs?

Feature: Download Email

Great little script.

Only thing its missing is a download email feature.

There's currently an issue when trying to retrieve the email

Same error even when trying to refresh the page

Server started: http://:::81/

hi,

sudo docker-compose up

app_1 | 20 Apr 18:03:24 - Server started: http://:::81/

I can't access to the port 81.

Am I supposed to do something with "host": "mail" ?

{
  "app": {
    "port": 81,
    "mail": {
      "host": "mail"
    }
  },
  "db": {
    "host": "db"
  },
  "mail": {
    "hostname": "mydomain.com",
    "domains": [
      "mydomain.com"
    ]
  }
}

pns.email doesn't display received e-mail

It's stuck loading; probably fault in deployment database.

Install / Set Up Instructions?

I'm not too familiar with docker & node... mind jotting down some quick set up / install instructions?

Do consider adding a "Delete all" email option
