Add https://msgdrop.io https://msgdrop.io to that list :) An API driven approach like Msgdrop is more flexible, as many apps can’t configure a fake SMTP server, especially if you use tools like Mailgun or SendGrid.

The "OG" fake SMTP as a service would be Mailtrap [1]. [1] https://mailtrap.io https://mailtrap.io.

Add https://mailsnag.com https://mailsnag.com to the list. You can share email samples with others for the review and it also allows receiving emails for your prod env - send emails to your app and process them in it.

  Don't they all "allow receiving emails from your prod env"? They all speak SMTP. What am I missing?

    The idea is that, in a a test environment, we should not actually deliver the mails to the recipient, instead making them available on a web page (or through an API).
