#### Email and SMTP testing tool with a web interface and an API

Mailpit catches the email your applications send. Its SMTP server stores
every message, a web interface shows them (HTML, text, source, headers
and attachments) and a REST API lets automated tests read them. It also
offers message tagging, HTML and link checks, SMTP relaying and an
optional POP3 server.

**Getting started**

The service starts right after installation and listens on this machine
only: SMTP on 127.0.0.1:1025, the web interface and API on
<http://127.0.0.1:8025>. Send a test message:

```
printf 'To: you@example.com\nSubject: Test\n\nHello\n' | mailpit sendmail
```

**Settings**

```
sudo snap set mailpit smtp-address=0.0.0.0:1025
sudo snap set mailpit http-address=0.0.0.0:8025
```

Other upstream settings, such as authentication, TLS, relaying and
message limits, go in /var/snap/mailpit/common/mailpit.env as MP\_\*
variables. Restart the service after editing it:

```
sudo snap restart mailpit.daemon
```

**sendmail**

mailpit.sendmail is a sendmail replacement that delivers to the service.

Captured mail is stored in /var/snap/mailpit/common. Updates come through
snap refresh; the upstream version check is disabled.
