This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MailCatcher on a FreeBSD Latest system.
MailCatcher requires Ruby and RubyGems to be installed on the system. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo pkg install ruby26 rubygem26
To install MailCatcher, use the following command:
sudo gem install mailcatcher
To start MailCatcher, run the following command:
mailcatcher
This will start MailCatcher and it will be listening on port 1080 (and 1025 for outgoing mail).
To test if MailCatcher is working, open up a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:1080. This will bring up the MailCatcher web interface. You can now send test emails and see them in the MailCatcher interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MailCatcher on your FreeBSD system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
