mailpit

brew install mailpit v1.30.2 MIT

Web and API SMTP testing tool written in Go; standalone server that captures and displays outgoing emails.

Why you might care

Mailpit runs as a local SMTP server to intercept and inspect emails during development, replacing real mail services. It provides a web UI and REST API for testing email workflows without cluttering inboxes. Single binary, zero external dependencies after build—drop-in replacement for sendmail or SMTP in dev configs.
