A **self-hosted** disposable mailbox service (aka trash mail) :cloud: :envelope:

### Installation
Disposable-mailbox can be installed by copying the src directory to a webserver.
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 in a *parent directory* outside the `public_html`, so it is not reachable through the browser.
5. 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 update
### Troubleshooting
* **IMAP Server has invalid certificate**: You might have to add `novalidate-cert` to the IMAP settings. See flags on http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php.
* **Error 500, Internal error**: Check your error log file. Add to `config.php`:
ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
## Testing on MacOs
* brew install php
* brew tap kabel/php-ext
* brew install kabel/php-ext/php-imap
* php -S localhost:8000 -t src
