A tool like this is very useful, but this one isn't being maintained anymore. MailHog isn't either.

MailPit, MailCrab and smtp4dev are modern alternatives.

What’s the easiest way to receive email programmatically without having to resort to a hosted service like SES? Is the SMTP protocol simple enough that it can be implemented in for example a serverless lambda?

I didn't think SES received. It's just a sender.

I run postfix.
