Mailhog lacks the "description" of what it does (what it says on the tin)

Please add

  • MailHog is for developers wanting to test send SMTP mailing code
  • Without accidentally emailing everyone on the lists..
  • Your can send email to MailHog and and will react like an smtp
  • But u can also readmails thru web interface.. useful for designers..
  • Its inspired and a rip off mailcatcher, a python service..

MailHog runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run MailHog , set your favourite app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025 instead of your default SMTP server, then check out http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the mail that's arrived so far.

Just the way I see it..

Thanks @pedromorgan - as it happens, I updated the readme yesterday to add a bit more overview, but it's not as detailed as yours! Any chance you could send it as a pull request if you have time? No prob either way, I'll have a look asap.

MailHog runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any messages sent to it to display in a web interface. Start MailHog, set the app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025, instead of the "live" SMTP server; then browse at http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the mail that's send/arrived so far.

MailHog is a test smtp server
