mailpit

It really only likely matters if you're one of those who is tempted to let it run on `0.0.0.0` instead of loopback only. Assuming you're not, there's certainly no urgency to migrate. But keep it in the back of your mind that it's unmaintained, and if things go weirdly wrong during an OS or ruby upgrade, remember that you will need to fix it or pick up something else that's kind of similar. If you're not already using it, it might be a good idea to pick up something else. I like [mailpit](https://github.com/axllent/mailpit) because it's a single static binary and because it has a nice api I can use during testing to see if a message made it out of the system I'm testing. But none of that argues for switching away from a thing that's working for you.

A tool like this is very useful, but this one isn't being maintained anymore. MailHog isn't either. MailPit, MailCrab and smtp4dev are modern alternatives. https://github.com/axllent/mailpit https://github.com/tweedegolf/mailcrab https://github.com/rnwood/smtp4dev

I have used tools like these for nearly a decade and find them invaluable. My current favourite is Mailpit [1]. The “OG” I would consider Mailcatcher [2] from my Rails days [1] https://github.com/axllent/mailpit [2] https://mailcatcher.me/

Yep, mailhpg works, but is not anymore maintained. We have been successfully using https://github.com/axllent/mailpit
