About This Tool

The tool validates an SMTP server by performing a controlled session against a specified host and port to confirm reachability, authentication viability, and proper handling of the SMTP command sequence.
It conceptually mirrors a real mail transfer: a client connects, negotiates security as configured, authenticates, and issues MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, and DATA. The system records server banners, per-command responses, and overall success or failure, providing actionable diagnostics without dispatching marketing content.
Developers, system admins, and email engineers gain visibility into handshake behavior, TLS requirements, and error codes. The tool supports both basic test runs and advanced modes that expose raw SMTP transcripts, timing data, and message-id results for integration into CI pipelines or incident investigations. Its value lies in isolating configuration gaps, such as missing STARTTLS, weak ciphers, or incorrect credentials, before going live with campaigns or transactional mail.
Core features include host/port input, credentials, security mode, envelope details, subject and body fields, and an exportable delivery report. Use cases include server validation after DNS or network changes, post-migration checks, and onboarding of new mail servers for developers who need deterministic feedback on mail flow.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: set SMTP host, port, credentials, and security mode.
  2. Specify envelope and message details (from_email, to_email, subject, body).
  3. Choose optional settings (STARTTLS, authentication method, content type).
  4. Run test execution to perform EHLO, AUTH, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, and DATA.
  5. Review outputs: overall status, per-command responses, latency, and any error guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What does a successful test indicate?
A successful test indicates the SMTP server accepted the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands and approved the DATA payload without errors, returning 2.x codes. It confirms connectivity, authentication, and basic message acceptance, but not guaranteed delivery to a mailbox.
Can I test on production servers with real recipients?
Yes, you can target production servers and real recipients, but this tests the SMTP session and may attempt delivery depending on server policies. For safety, use test accounts or non-delivery configurations when evaluating server behavior.
How are latency and timing calculated?
Latency is measured as the round-trip time for each SMTP command (EHLO, AUTH, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, DATA) and summed to a total. The tool reports per-command timings and an overall total to help identify slow steps in the delivery path.
What if authentication or TLS fails?
If authentication fails, the server returns a 4xx/5xx code and the test marks authentication as failed with guidance. TLS/STARTTLS failures are reported with the specific negotiation error, suggesting alternative security modes or credentials.
