Test mode
Send without delivering, with test keys and simulator addresses.
bunzzle keys create --name dev --test creates a test key. Email sent with it goes through the same checks, gets an id, events and webhooks, and is never delivered: every recipient counts as delivered. A test key can send from a domain that is added but not verified yet.
Addresses at simulator.test behave the same way with any key and never leave the server:
| Address | What happens |
|---|---|
delivered@simulator.test |
delivered |
bounced@simulator.test |
permanent bounce (5.1.1), the address is suppressed |
deferred@simulator.test |
deferred once, delivered on the retry |
complained@simulator.test |
delivered, then a complaint; the address is suppressed for bulk mail |
suppressed@simulator.test |
refused at intake as suppressed |
Simulated bounces and complaints do not count toward the reputation guards or IP warm-up.
