# self-hosted disposable email service

[](https://gitter.im/synox/disposable-mailbox?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
|

|
|
Create your own temporary email web-service by combining
|
|
* a [catch-all imap mailbox](https://www.google.ch/search?q=how+to+setup+catch-all+imap+mailbox) and
|
|
* this easy to install web-application.
|
|
|
|
A random email address is created for every user and everything is updated automatically.
|
|
Emails can also be deleted.
|

## You have to know
|
|

|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* webserver with php >=5.3.0
|
|
* php [imap extension](http://php.net/manual/book.imap.php)
|
|
* IMAP account and a domain with catch-all configuration (all emails go to one mailbox).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. assure the [imap extension](http://php.net/manual/book.imap.php) is installed. The following command should not print any errors:
|
|
|
|
<?php print imap_base64("SU1BUCBleHRlbnNpb24gc2VlbXMgdG8gYmUgaW5zdGFsbGVkLiA="); ?>
|
|
|
|
2. download a [release](https://github.com/synox/disposable-mailbox/releases) or clone this repository
|
|
3. copy the files in the `src` directory to your web server (not the whole repo!).
|
|
4. rename `config.sample.php` to `config.php` and apply the imap settings. Move `config.php` to a safe location outside the `public_html`.
|
|
5. edit `backend.php` and set the new path to `config.php`.
|
|
6. open it in your browser, check your php error log for messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build it yourself
|
|
The src directory contains all required files. If you want to update the php dependencies, you can update them yourself. You must have [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install php dependecies:
|
|
|
|
composer install
|
|
|
