MailHog
Catch outgoing emails and inspect them in a web UI
Upvote
MailHog is an email testing tool for developers. Point your application's SMTP settings at MailHog, then view the messages it sends in a web interface or retrieve them through a JSON API instead of delivering them to real inboxes.
Highlights
- Inspired by MailCatcher but easier to install: a single Go program that runs without installation on multiple platforms
- Web UI and JSON API for reading captured messages
- Optionally release messages to a real SMTP server
Ideal for local development and staging environments where you want to test email flows safely.
