A quick guide for creating your own temporary mail server

##Overview You might have a need for a temporary mail service like mailinator.com on your own machine. This guide provides the minimum required steps to do that. The setup we will use is as follows

Procmail (Receive mail and forward to script)--->PHP Script(Parse Mail and put in Database)--->MySQL(Store the mails)--->JSON

Note: This is intended as a quick DIY for simple projects. Hence, we will not go into more details like spam detection and memory optimization.

##Instructions ####Setup Infrastructure

  1. Get a Top level domain name (Note: Getting this to work with a sub-domain will require more work and setup)
