Introduction: Ever needed to test your email functionality but didn't want to use real data? I built a simple Python project that generates fake user data and sends test emails automatically. Perfect for developers who need to test email systems without compromising real information.
What Does It Do? This project uses the Faker library to generate realistic fake data (names, emails, messages) and sends them via SMTP to test email accounts. It's a practical tool for testing email workflows, notification systems, or any feature that requires sending emails.
Technologies Used:
Python 3.x
Faker library (for generating fake data)
smtplib (for sending emails)
email.mime (for formatting emails)
Key Features: Generates random fake names and email addresses
Creates realistic message content
Sends emails via Gmail SMTP
Easy configuration with your own credentials
Perfect for testing without real user data
How It Works:
The Faker library generates random names, emails, and message content
The script connects to Gmail's SMTP server using App Passwords
It formats the email with subject, body, and sender info
Sends the test email to your specified recipient
Confirms successful delivery
