NAME¶

catchmail - sendmail-like interface to forward mail to MailCatcher

SYNOPSIS¶

catchmail [options] [recipient ... ]

DESCRIPTION¶

MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run mailcatcher, set your favourite app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025 instead of your default SMTP server, then check out http://127.0.0.1:1080 to see the mail that's arrived so far.

catchmail accepts messages and forwards them to the running mailcatcher instance.
