Longtime mailhog user here; this looks like a nice improvement for cold start developer environments! Another option in the same space (emphasis container size) is https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

Looking for easiest local mail server in docker for monitoring
https://inbucket.org/ is very easy to host, does not require you to setup mailboxes, does not require any sort of database, has a built in webmail interface, and you can also grab via POP3 if you want to use a traditional mail client.

Alternative to MailCow
I can recommend Docker mailserver (it also works with Podman). It is already pretty lightweight but you can even make it lighter and it has an active community as well as regular updates.

Self Hosting Email Server
Use https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver or mailcow . They both provide reasonable default setup for spam detection and even UI for adjusting settings.

Case for docker
Check https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver It has almost everything in a single docker image. Email is not the easiest to implement with container(s), but that project has managed it.

Modern full-featured mail server for low-maintenance self-hosted email
I set up docker-mailserver[0] Monday in ~6 hours, most of which were me trying to be fancy using podman instead of docker and dealing with SELinux. But then again I did choose it over mail-in-a-box for just that level of customization. Obviously I can't tell how reliable it will be in the long run yet, but since it's using the classic Postfix/Dovecot stack I expect it'll be pretty stable
