We use mailcatcher[0] on our sandbox server so that product and QA can test email features in a live environment. Mailcatcher was a drop in replacement with our existing codebase. No need to add in additional business logic specific for testing or have to write our own interface to expose the "sent" emails. [0] https://mailcatcher.me/ https://mailcatcher.me/

[RETRACTED]. My bad.

  It appears to me that mailcatcher linked by the parent is free and open source.

    Ethereal.email is also open source so it can be installed locally https://github.com/nodemailer/ethereal-www https://github.com/nodemailer/ethereal-www

      True, but ethereal.email requires mongodb and redis. whereas mailcatcher just uses sqlite. no need to install extra apps.

Yep. Mailhog is another good one. For staging environments I like Mailtrap.io because it's a cleaner interface for non-devs.

  You get what you pay for :). mailcatcher is OSS and self hosted. Mailhog definitely looks prettier.
