ngrok to expose your URL from behind a firewall or natted address

dummy@example.com (SeanR) — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 05:12:21 +0000

This is a great little tool if you are testing your web service at home and need to have it consumed from outside your own network. This essentially sets up a tunnel to your internal http server/web api that passes traffic to and fro. Perfect for development testing.

Their description: One command for an instant, secure URL to your localhost server through any NAT or firewall.

https://ngrok.com/

Download and run a program (single file no need to install anything) on your machine and provide it the port of a network service, usually a web server.
Connect to the ngrok cloud service which accepts traffic on a public address.
Traffic is relayed through to the ngrok process running on your machine and then on to the local address you specified.

Standalone Mail server for windows

dummy@example.com (SeanR) — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 16:18:02 +0000

While looking for a SMTP relay server that we can install and use to forward emails from X-EventCollector as though they come from the original user I came across MailEnable

I think we need to look at how we can limit the SMTP Relay so as not to become a SPAM house within our clients. However I have tested this and it does work well for the "Mitel" BCX Messaging requirement.

I would be REALLY interested to see if anybody else come up with other suggestions.

Sendgrid while good blocks many emails without any explanation.
