MailHog is an email testing tool that allows you to intercept email messages during development and testing. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install MailHog on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have:
First, let's clone the MailHog repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog.git
Once the cloning process completes, navigate to the MailHog directory using the following command:
cd MailHog
Next, let's build and install MailHog using the Makefile provided in the repository. Execute the following command:
make install
Once the installation process completes, you can start MailHog using the following command:
MailHog
This will start the MailHog server on the default SMTP port 1025.
Now, you can access the MailHog web interface by visiting http://localhost:8025 in your web browser. From there, you can view and interact with any email messages intercepted by MailHog.
Installing and using MailHog on NetBSD is quick and easy. With MailHog, you can test your email functionality without sending real email messages, which can be helpful during development and testing.
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!
