self-hosted disposable email service

Goals:

• easy to use: generate random name or use custom name, auto refresh
• easy to host: just php5 + imap extension
• easy to install: just copy some files
• minimal code base: minimal features and complexity

You have to know

• Use and you will be be notified about issues and bugfixes.
• This is WORK IN PROGRESS (WIP) software, do not use it in production yet! There are still unsolved problems. Contributions are welcome!
• Licence:

Webserver requirements

• php >=5.3.0
• imap extension
• apache 2 (let me know how it works on nginx!)

Installation

1. assure the imap extension is installed. The following command should not print any errors:

    <?php print imap_base64("SU1BUCBleHRlbnNpb24gc2VlbXMgdG8gYmUgaW5zdGFsbGVkLiA="); ?>
   

2. download a release or clone this repository

3. copy the src directory to your web server.

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.

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 installed.

Install php dependecies:

composer install
