👉 Mailto engineering refers to the process of modifying email client settings and configurations to automatically redirect incoming emails to a specific destination, often for testing, security, or organizational purposes. This involves adding a custom "mailto:" link to email addresses within the client's interface, which when clicked, opens the default application associated with that program (like a web browser or text editor) instead of the default email client. This technique is commonly used by developers for automated testing, to ensure emails are opened in the expected environment, or to enforce company policies that require emails to be processed through internal systems. By controlling the default action for incoming emails, organizations can better manage email flow and enhance security measures.
