Preview emails with letter_opener, MailCatcher and MailHog
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

Mailtutan is an SMTP server s written in Rust for test and development environments.
Useful. Seems very similar to MailCatcher, but not depending on Ruby is always a plus.

Rails5 - sending and receiving emails
One small tip: I’d recommend using mailcatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) in development. It will intercept emails sent by your app and runs a small web server at localhost:1080 to see if the issue is with your application code or with your mailgun configuration in prod. Also I’d write a unit test for your mailer if you haven’t already :)

Ruby's Email Address Regexp
There are basically three levels of address checking:
1) You need to validate an email field for login or a website - checking for an @ mark with some text before and at least one . after the @ will do for this.
2) You need to do some sort of address validation, library regexps like this will do for 99.9...% of these.
3) You are building an email handling system which needs to actually support the RFCs, in which case regexp will not handle what you need, and you need to use a proper parser, like https://github.com/mikel/mail/tree/master/lib/mail/parsers
Ref: I am the original author of the Ruby mail gem.
