Maybe you can use GreenMail for testing.

> The unit tests in MailEchoRawXMLTest test the mail transport by sending mails to a Gmail account, connecting to smtp.gmail.com and pop.gmail.com. This strategy is inappropriate for several reasons:
> 1) It introduces a dependency external to the test itself.
> 2) The tests will fail when executed on a machine not connected to the Internet or from within a network with a restrictive firewall.
> 3) It slows down the execution of the tests.
> 4) Sporadically smtp.gmail.com replies with "421 4.4.5 Server busy, try again later.", causing the test to fail.
> Maybe we should consider using something like mock-javamail (https://mock-javamail.dev.java.net/) to make these tests self-containing.
