We used to use MailCatcher, and it worked quite nicely, but then switched to Arm machines and it broke. So we are using Mailpit https://mailpit.axllent.org (which also nice, but more complicated to setup).

Looks like MailCatcher fixed the Arm issue – maybe we will switch back.

What about Mailpit did you find complicated to setup? For us, the Docker image works out of the box, and about all the configuration needed is pointing the SMTP client that does the mail sending to localhost instead of the normal outgoing mail servers.

Oh nothing much: Mailpit is installed via a script and then we added a systemd unit vs 'gem install mailcatcher && mailcatcher'

MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server
