Go-MailHog

Inspired by MailCatcher, easier to install.

Go-MailHog is a rewritten version of MailHog, which was born out of M3MTA.

Go was chosen for portability - MailHog runs without installation on multiple platforms.

Requirements

  • None!

Getting started

Either:

By default, the SMTP server will start on port 1025, the HTTP server will start on port 8025, and in-memory message storage will be used.

Features

  • ESMTP server implementing RFC5321
  • Support for SMTP AUTH (RFC4954) and PIPELINING (RFC2920)
  • Web interface to view messages (plain text, HTML or source)
    • Supports RFC2047 encoded headers
  • Real-time updates using EventSource
  • Release messages to real SMTP servers
  • HTTP API to list, retrieve and delete messages
  • Multipart MIME support
  • Download individual MIME parts
  • In-memory message storage
  • MongoDB storage for message persistence
  • Lightweight and portable
  • No installation required

Configuration

You can configure Go-MailHog using command line options or environment variables:

Environment Command line Default Description
MH_HOSTNAME -hostname mailhog.example Hostname to use for EHLO/HELO and message IDs
MH_HTTP_BIND_ADDR -httpbindaddr 0.0.0.0:8025 Interface and port for HTTP server to bind to
MH_MONGO_COLLECTION -mongocoll messages MongoDB collection name for message storage
MH_MONGO_DB -mongodb mailhog MongoDB database name for message storage
MH_MONGO_URI -mongouri 127.0.0.1:27017 MongoDB host and port
MH_SMTP_BIND_ADDR -smtpbindaddr 0.0.0.0:1025 Interface and port for SMTP server to bind to
MH_STORAGE -storage memory Set message storage: memory / mongodb

Contributing

Clone this repository to $GOPATH/src/github.com/ian-kent/Go-MailHog and type make deps.

Run tests using make test. You'll need a copy of MailHog running for tests to pass. (Tests currently fail using in-memory storage, use MongoDB!)

If you make any changes, run go fmt ./... before submitting a pull request.
