Using Mailcatcher or an alternative on CircleCi

Build Environment Running Tests
1

Hi there,

I was wondering if some of you are using mailcatcher.me or an alternative like mailhog (https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) on circleCI.

I would like to use some of those, but as I know my linux sysadmin skills just suck, I’d go for one which is easily installed on circleCI :slight_smile:

Best regards
Philipp

MailHog offers a web interface, but that’s no good as it will die when the build/tests are finished. It would be better to inject a mail component in your application DI to capture the text of emails (e.g. in raw SMTP) so you can run tests on them.
