Getting Around

Thanks for being a Mailinator subscriber! This section will show you some immediate ways to get the most out of your Mailinator subscription.

Private Domain​

You now have a Private domain (yes, already - check your Team Settings tab). Every conceivable inbox at that domain is waiting for you to send email to it.

Better than a public mailbox:

  1. The email at that domain is private to you.
  2. You won't be rate limited (up to your account limits)
  3. You can see ALL incoming email to all inboxes at once

To see what your current Private Domain is, go the Team Settings section of the Web interface and you'll see it listed. You can leave it as is, change it to another subdomain, or even put in a domain you already own (you must change your MX DNS record of your domain to point to our servers for this to work).

Additional Domain Details:​

When your subscription became active, a subdomain of Testinator.com (i.e. a Mailinator testing domain) was created and assigned to your account as your private domain.

For example, your initial private domain would be something like @you-yourcompany.testinator.com. So any email to anything@you-yourcompany.testinator.com will arrive in your private domain.

On the left of the Web User Interface you'll see "Private Team Inbox". If you click that you'll be taken to the web interface for your private domain. The inbox field in the upper right allows you to filter that incoming domain.

Find Your API Key​

On the Team Settings page, you'll also notice your API token. This token allows you to access all email in Mailinator (public and private) via API instead of the Web.

Add people to your account​

The Team Management screen allows you to add co-workers to your account so they too can access your private domain emails. Also, checkout the Message Routing Rules system. While it's great to read emails via the web or API, Mailinator will push emails to you via webhooks. You can set this up in the Rules System.
