actionmailer-balancer VS MailCatcher

And for more detailed info on the boilerplate and use in development, check out the Mailtrap ActionMailer Balancer Github page.

hey HN, I recently published an article going deep into email previewing (in Ruby on Rails, but I think it's relevant beyond Rails).

MailCatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) and MailHog (https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) are super handy and easy to run locally. Both spin up an SMTP server which you can direct mail to, and give you a nice web interface to browse mail and preview it.

Happy to answer any question! thanks, harrison

A couple others

* Mail Catcher https://mailcatcher.me/

Useful. Seems very similar to MailCatcher, but not depending on Ruby is always a plus.

I just upgraded to Alpine Linux 3.16.1 This is an important upgrade as it fixes 2 major issues: - busybox CVE-2022-30065 - openssl CVE-2022-2097 Related information: Mailcatcher as a docker image using Alpine Linux 3.16.1: https://hub.docker.com/r/stpaquet/alpinemailcatcher Github repo: https://github.com/spaquet/docker-alpine-mailcatcher Mailcatcher: https://mailcatcher.me

Mailcatcher: https://mailcatcher.me

Mailhog sounds a lot like mailcatcher

I would install https://mailcatcher.me and see if that local smtp works.

I can run MailCatcher or MailHog or Postfix or Sendmail or any number of other solutions, but there's not any other linux sysadmins here so something with an easy gui setup would be convenient so others can poke around if needed.
