MailSlurper is a lightweight, web-based SMTP mail server written in Go that captures emails sent by applications during development. It stores messages in a database and provides a web UI for viewing them, letting developers test email functionality without a real mail server.

Use cases

  • test email sending in local development
  • capture emails from my app without a real SMTP server
  • view emails sent during automated tests
  • run a fake SMTP server with Docker
  • inspect outgoing mail from a small dev team

When to choose

  • you need a simple local SMTP sink with a web UI for development or testing
  • you want a Docker-friendly mail catcher for individual developers or small teams

When to avoid

  • you need a production mail server with real delivery, relaying, or spam filtering
  • you require enterprise features like high availability or large-scale mail routing
