I’m a network admin, and as such, maintain an Exchange server with a Barracuda spam filter. I needed something that could send an email to myself, from the outside, so that I can be sure my server is accepting emails and the spam filter is passing them through, and eventually get it on my iPhone. Almost like a path test. Of course, I could just send myself an email from time to time from my yahoo or gmail account, but I wanted something automated, that would send at regular intervals. Before I get the dreaded call from a user saying “Hey, I haven’t gotten any emails from the outside world in a few hours! What gives?”. So I wrote this little VB app. It doesn’t save passwords, so you have to enter it every time you start it up. It’s pretty self explanatory. AND it’s a work in progress. You can hit the ‘Load Config’ button to load a generic config to start you off. If you’re sending from Gmail and you use Two-Factor Authentication, be sure to create an app password and use that.
