## Notes

MailSlurper is a small SMTP mail server that captures the mail applications send to it, stores it in a database and shows it in a web interface. The repository describes it as a local, web-based mail server application. It is written in Go and can run as a [Docker container](https://github.com/mailslurper/mailslurper/blob/master/README.md) or be compiled from source. Its default configuration stores captured mail in SQLite, and its source also supports MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server.
