Could you build this?
Partial The developer dashboard and API endpoints are trivial to build, but managing a dedicated mail transfer agent (MTA) infrastructure to receive emails reliably without spam filtering issues is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an incoming SMTP server (such as Haraka, Postfix, or a custom Go/Node SMTP listener) configured with MX records, SPF, and catch-all handling. Emails are parsed (MIME decoding), stored in an indexed database (PostgreSQL/Redis), and exposed via REST APIs and WebSockets to the developer's test suites. The challenge lies in operating resilient mail server daemons, preventing abuse, and managing storage at scale.
