Mailcatcher

Email testing is always complicated:

• your local enviromnent hasn't a configured SMTP server
• the global mail server is damn slow
• your spam filter impremeable configured

This app should solve a couple of your problems:

• easy setup
• fancy shiny GUI

Mailcatcher hooks into the mail function, it parsed the mail and persist all important imformations in a sqlite-db.

Mailcatcher is written in PHP with Silex and Doctrine2.
