Test-mode recipients

Use fixture addresses so campaigns, workflows, API, and SMTP never send real email.

Lumail accepts sends to fixture recipients and returns a success id without sending real email. Campaigns, workflows, transactional API, SMTP, and test emails share this gate. Real mailboxes still go through the email service.

Use these addresses to exercise the full send path — including production e2e — without bouncing or collecting complaints on the shared sending pool. Product walkthrough: Test Workflow.

Fixture addresses

PatternExample
Local-part starts with playwright-test-[email protected]
Domain is example.com, example.net, or example.org, including subdomains[email protected], [email protected]
Domain is test.com, test.net, test.org, or test.dev, including subdomains[email protected], [email protected]
TLD is .test, .example, .invalid, or .localhost[email protected], [email protected]

Display names are stripped first (Name <[email protected]> is still test-mode).

Not test-mode

  • Real mailboxes such as [email protected] still send real email when sending is enabled.
  • example.edu is not reserved for fixtures and still sends real email.
  • Lookalikes such as contest.com or mytest.com still send real email.
