Mailcatcher
Mailcatcher is a simple SMTP server that catches all mail sent to it and displays it in a web interface. This is useful for development and testing of email sending services. This is not a production ready service and should not be used in a production environment.
Nomad Job for Mailcatcher
Mailcatcher requires no configuration but is only available through the service mesh for sending SMTP mail. The service to connect to is fittingly called fake-smtp and is available to the localhost on port 1025. There is no need for an email or password and the service is not encrypted so you should not use TLS or SSL. (It might work, I just haven't tried it.) - This is not something you should expose to the internet. It's just for testing and development.
Once you have sent an email to the fake SMTP server, you can view the email in the web interface. The web interface has a dynamic port assigned by Nomad so you will need to go to the Task Allocation page in the Nomad UI where you can open the link under 'WebUI' to view the emails.
