This post is about how to create a mailinator clone using SendGrid Inbound parse webhooks and ASP.NET Core. Mailinator is a service which offers dynamic email inbox for testing purposes. In this post I am creating a similar service using SendGrid Inbound parse webhooks - which helps to listen for incoming emails. To start you need a SendGrid account. Once you create a SendGrid account, you need to authenticate a domain. For this post I have created an SendGrid account from Azure portal. You can create Authenticated domains from this Page. Next open your Inbound parse settings, you can get it from Settings > Inbound Parse or Inbound Parse Settings. Next you need to add your receiving domain and Webhook URL.

SSL helps to encrypt the traffic between browser and server and for verifying the server identity. Usually for a web application, we need to buy SSL certificates from the providers like GoDaddy or Digicert. There are some free SSL providers also available like Lets Encrypt - but they are offering the SSL expiry for limited number of days, after that you need to renew it.
