inbucket VS go-mail

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

inbucket is what you need

yeah, it is still helpful. But I was also recommended to play with mailhog or https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket

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.

If all you need is a system to receive SMTP mail and read the messages via web GUI then inbucket is probably the easiest solution.

Will have to play around with GitHub pages settings, looks like https://www.inbucket.org/ is the workaround for now

I run https://www.inbucket.org/ at home. I wrote it, so I'm biased, but it works well for me. ;)

This is what you need inbucket

Using it for my private blog, a website of a NPO and the documentation site forgo-mail. Wouldn't choose anything else anymore if I don't have to.

You might want to check out the go-mail package, which takes care of all this for you.

The used [gopkg.in/mail.v2](gopkg.in/mail.v2) package hasn't seen an update in 4 years and seems unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead.

The gomail package you are referring to has not seen an update for 6 years and seems to be unmaintained. I suggest to use go-mail instead, which is actively maintained and implements some additional features that are not found in the unmaintained one.

Due to the above mentioned reasons and the lack of proper alternatives decided to write my own Go mail library. On a long weekend I started working on wneessen/go-mail and in the night of Sunday I had a kind of working prototype and I implemented it with js-mailer.
