A mail tester!

A mail tester is a tool used to test and verify the delivery of emails. It's a crucial step in ensuring that your emails are being sent and received correctly. Here's how it works:

  1. Sending a test email: You send a test email to the mail tester's email address.
  2. Verification: The mail tester receives the email and verifies its contents, including the subject line, body, and any attachments.
  3. Reporting: The mail tester generates a report detailing the results of the test, including whether the email was delivered, bounced, or marked as spam.

Mail testers can help you:

  1. Debug email issues: Identify and fix issues with your email sending code, such as incorrect email addresses or formatting problems.
  2. Verify email deliverability: Ensure that your emails are being delivered to the intended recipients' inboxes.
  3. Test email content: Verify that your email content, including subject lines and body text, is being displayed correctly.
  4. Monitor email reputation: Keep an eye on your email reputation and detect any potential issues that could impact deliverability.
