Send Test Emails
Simulate different events by sending test emails.
How to send test emails
During development, it’s important to test different deliverability scenarios.
Example: When an email hard bounces or is marked as spam, it’s important to stop sending emails to the recipient, as continuing to send emails to those addresses will damage your domain reputation. We recommend creating a webhook endpoint to capture these events and remove the addresses from your mailing lists.
When testing, avoid:
- sending to fake email addresess
- setting up a fake SMTP server
We provide the following test email addresses to help you simulate different email events without damaging your domain reputation. These test emails enable the safe use of Resend’s Dashboard, Webhooks, and API when developing your application.
