Go-MailHog
=========
Inspired by [MailCatcher](http://mailcatcher.me/), easier to install.
Go-MailHog is a rewritten version of [MailHog](https://github.com/ian-kent/MailHog), which was born out of [M3MTA](https://github.com/ian-kent/M3MTA).
Go was chosen for portability - MailHog runs without installation on multiple platforms.
### Requirements
* None!
### Getting started
* Download the latest release of Go-MailHog for your platform
* Start MailHog
By default, the SMTP server will start on port 1025, and the HTTP
server will start on port 8025.
