## How to use

* Create a directory which will contain the emails that *fakepop* should serve.

  ```bash

  mkdir ~/fake_emails

  ```

* Put all messages that you want *fakepop* to deliver in the `~/fake_emails` directory.\

  Some filenames are not considered as messages:

  - filenames begining with '.' (hidden files)

  - filenames begining with 'readme' (case insensitive)

  - filenames ending in '~' (backup files)

* Run *fakepop* by mounting your email directory. It will run as daemon in the background.

  ```bash

  docker run --rm -d --name fakepop -v ${PWD}:/etc/fakepop -p 127.0.0.1:110:110 gschlager/fakepop

  ```

* You can stop the daemon with

  ```bash

  docker stop fakepop

  ```
