I was trying out MailHog while on travel and I noticed that the Web UI wasn't loading correctly. I think that, given its important role in testing locally, MailHog should be able to work when downloading of remote assets isn't possible or it is difficult.

The site doesn't work in Internet Explorer.
The script debugger shows an error: 'EventSource' is undefined.

According to StackOverflow IE doesn't support this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24498141/is-there-a-microsoft-equivalent-for-html5-server-sent-events

They also suggest a work-around:
https://github.com/remy/polyfills/blob/master/EventSource.js

Possibility to save messages to a directory..

eg
-storage directory -directory /home/tests/mail/

Rationale, I want to go an investigate sent messages later, and having the messages in files would help

2014/07/20 16:36:03 Parsing MIME body
panic: runtime error: index out of range

looks like ParseMIMEBody() might be the reason, I commented out lines 62-65 in mailhog/data/message.go and the panics have stopped

Implement smtp auth and a config for smtp auth

Have just been trialing MailHog. Very easy to get up and running!

When testing it out I was watching my Emails come through in the WebUI and clicked around some of the buttons. I noticed after clicking the toggle eventstream and it turning from green to red that after a couple more emails are sent the SMTP server stops responding to requests after the mail gets queued for delivery.

I've managed to reproduce using telnet. Steps to reproduce are:

• Send a few messages and watch them appear in the web console
• Toggle the eventviewer in the browser to off
• Send a few more messages, usually after the 3rd or 4th message the server will stop responding to quit, or any other command for that matter. For example see below:

 telnet localhost 1025
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailhog.example ESMTP Go-MailHog
HELO test
250 Hello test
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
250 Sender [email protected] ok
RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
250 Recipient [email protected] ok

Hello
.
250 Ok: queued as 54929b149a6dd2435200000b
quit
quit




quit

I've managed to reproduce it pretty reliably, everything works fine until I toggle the eventstream to off.

Problem

I get panic when trying to override the UI or API bind address.

When you send/recevive an E-Mail with a very long subject/E-Mail-Adress the layout of the table will break:

• content is not aligned with heading
• horizontal scrollbar will not scroll to the right

This was on 1280x1024 screen. On a larger screen more content was visible, but the alignment was still broken.

I was looking into mailhog, but my application uses sendmail to send its mail. Any chance of adding a drop-in replacement for sendmail that would instead send its messages to mailhog? Or is this already possible and am I missing something (I am aware of the possibility of configuring sendmail to use smtp, but that seems quite involved and ultimately a roundabout way of getting an email from a command line utility into mailhog).

It would be great, if we could start Mail Hog as a Windows Service.

There seems to be a golang package with support for services on different platforms:

Hi,

MailHog is awesome.

Quick issue/question - is there a way to force all email links to be opened in a new window?

When I'm viewing my emails - if I click on a link in the email it opens it within the MailHog tab - I'd rather it just open a new window so MailHog stays as it was?

Here I have a log with mime message: http://pastebin.com/iZ2KMdmR
You can see that here https://github.com/mailhog/data/blob/master/message.go#L119
MailHog assum that boundary should in the format of boundary="..." but it the spec I found its not necessary always https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046#section-5.1.1

HTML:

Let me start by saying I love mailhog. I just found it and got it up and running in no time. Great work! I'd like to take advantage of the feature to forward messages to an SMTP server, but I don't know how to set that up. I didn't see it in the CONFIG.md file. I don't know Go (I'm a Java dev), but I found the following snippet in the config.go file from the Server repo:

flag.StringVar(&cfg.OutgoingSMTPFile, "outgoing-smtp", envconf.FromEnvP("MH_OUTGOING_SMTP", "").(string), "JSON file containing outgoing SMTP servers")

So, I know I need a file with JSON, but what is the expected format?

Also, I noticed that when using the web client I could see the API calls to the server, which is cool, but I noticed that it uses v2. The docs are still for v1. I think I can get most of what I need from the server output, but I was wondering if there were other nuggets of gold I hadn't discovered. For example, the docs don't cover search requests, but I was able to see them when using the search feature in the UI.

If you could update the docs to include the above information, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

There's no way to release mail via a smtp server that requires username/password.
Could you please add this?

Furthermore it would be great to specify default values for username/password/host/port via environment variables or command line options.

This is a feature request as I am using to test a local email system, which is a webapp, with both qt/c++, mobile/phonegap and web interfaces...

Useful would be an option to make random or predictable failures happen, eg

• wrong pass
• wrong user
• long lag
• connection fail

This would be particularily useful to handle these errors on the client side..

-fails="all" (or credentials, lag, connect, et all)

Hello,

I am attaching different files, as attachments, how I don't see anywhere in the UI, on where those attachments could be?

I see them in 'mimes', but when I try to download, they are not downloadable..

Thank you

I downloaded the binary and ran in ubuntu.
Then accessed the web ui thru http://dev.local.net:8025
No response.

Then， netstat -nat, no 8025 port is listening

IFRAME height defaults to browser default which is 150px on chrome and in effect mail preview is limited to a small scrollable stripe.
My fix was to set IFRAME height to 100%.

If there is some styling in HTML email regarding for example "body" element those styles are also applied to MailHog UI.
To avoid this kind of issues HTML preview could be presented in "iframe".

I've got currently 30 messages stored in mongodb and it seems that they are sorted mostly* by mongo internal _id field and not by date.

* take a look at _id of first message

Here is sample:

> db.messages.find({},{created:1}).count()
30

However applying simple sort on created field is not that simple as mongo is crying about exceeding buffered data limit.

> db.messages.find({},{created:1}).sort({created:1})
error: {
        "$err" : "Runner error: Overflow sort stage buffered data usage of 34342473 bytes exceeds internal limit of 33554432 bytes",
        "code" : 17144
}

Creating additional index fixes that:

> db.messages.ensureIndex({created:1})
{
        "createdCollectionAutomatically" : false,
        "numIndexesBefore" : 1,
        "numIndexesAfter" : 2,
        "ok" : 1
}

Due to bug #34 preferred way of sorting would be newest first, but some sorting buttons over message list would also do the trick.

The returned file seems to be correct, but browsers like Chrome and Firefox don't accept it because the headers are broken ;-(

MaiHog is one part of the equation of using email..

A full circle would be to make "MailKit", and "mailhog" as a part of a full loop test env

• click a button and send a pass works
• a creation of account, and send email
• fabricate smtp logins for mobile,
• manage the postfix pretend server
• check vaction messages, and manage forwardings
• serialise emails to actuals files, like real postfix/dovecot
• simulate span and doss
• send mailings and in control of process
• create mailers, and newsgroups with easy opins outs
• focus on coporate client chain, and templates with const data
• mobile and tablet results,
• caching..
• the new cpanel for email
• rest interface for admin mailserver, forwardings and vatatins and mega issues

Hi,

Is there currently a way to have an authentification (at least Basic Auth) for the UI?

Thanks.

Hello again :)

I have spotted one more problem.
For example I get this email to mailhog:

to reset your password, please click <a href=3D"http://sentinel=
.app/change_password/13/2eVJjEic4h5oui6h2lJ8gzl9mdC4qzXQ">this link.</a>.=

it is the source. the soruce itself is the same in both mailcatcher and mailhog, but the HTML rendered in mailhog is currupt.

For example link ir not change_password but change password (without underscore)

Here are the headers from mailhog:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 04 May 2015 09:53:14 +0000
From: CRM <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Message-ID: [email protected]
Received: from sentinel.app by mailhog.example (Go-MailHog)
          id [email protected]; Mon, 04 May 2015 12:53:14 +0300
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Subject: Reset your account password.
To: [email protected]

Here are the headers from mailcatcher:

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Date: Mon, 04 May 2015 09:53:40 +0000
Subject: Reset your account password.
From: CRM <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Not sure what else I can post :(

Thanks!

Mailhog lacks the "description" of what it does (what it says on the tin)

Please add

• MailHog is for developers wanting to test send SMTP mailing code
• Without accidentally emailing everyone on the lists..
• Your can send email to MailHog and and will react like an smtp
• But u can also readmails thru web interface.. useful for designers..
• Its inspired and a rip off mailcatcher, a python service..

MailHog runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run MailHog , 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.

Just the way I see it..

It seems that MailHog accepts only single form of sender in MAIL FROM command, which is:

MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>

putting space after colon or omitting angle brackets like

MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>

MAIL FROM:[email protected]

MAIL FROM: [email protected]

leads to "550 Invalid sender" however most MTAs accepts those as valid forms.

Subject =?utf-8?q?I=27some_test?=

When I try to use MailHog in a Zend Framework 1 Application via SMTP, I get an exception with the message "Unrecognised command". After sone debugging I found the SMTP-command "MAIL FROM:<[e-mail-address]>" responsible for the exception.

It would be nice to be able to run mailhog as a daemon in Linux. I think the original MailHog had a -daemon option or something like that, but for the current version, the only way to run it in the background is to use nohup or pipe things somehow.

There seems to be a problem with multipart boundaries.

The mail is sent from an Oxid E-Shop using the PHPMailer library and it works on postfix/dovecot and mailcatcher without errors.

Thanks for your work. Go-MailHog is a really useful and awesome piece of software and I do like the approach of not having to install a shitload of dependencies with it.

When MailHog receives an email, which is html, it renders it as "plain text". I don't know why this happens, and how to render it as html.

Here is an example of part of the headers, as well as a screenshot:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 

I tried to use Mailhog together with an apache-proxy.

ProxyPass /mailhog http://localhost:8025/
ProxyPassReverse /mailhog http://localhost:8025/

Mailhog tries to resolve all resource absolute to the host:

http://localhost/images/hog.png

I think mailhog needs an optional webcontext argument like -webcontext mailhog, which will then search all resources under /mailhog/.. instead of /

the changelog for https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases/tag/v0.1.3
seems inclomplete

#25 seems to be fixed in 0.1.3 (or isn't it)

I get the following when trying to install on a new system:

github.com/mailhog/MailHog

github.com/mailhog/MailHog/main.go:42: cannot use cb (type func("net/http".Handler)) as type func(_app.App) in argument to "github.com/mailhog/http".Listen
github.com/mailhog/MailHog/main.go:51: cannot use cb1 (type func("net/http".Handler)) as type func(_app.App) in argument to "github.com/mailhog/http".Listen
github.com/mailhog/MailHog/main.go:52: cannot use cb2 (type func("net/http".Handler)) as type func(*app.App) in argument to "github.com/mailhog/http".Listen

Loving the project!

Is there a way to make docker image not to print content of attachments into the logs? as it gets very verbose with bigger attachments.

I just updated the project..

And the auth bug still not working..

But also a major restructure and now a makefile..

Can we put a bit more info.. on this make stuff

I was expecting to run
cd ~src/giithub.com... hog..
and then
go run main.go

I dont like makefile.. I want
go run main.go

What I am getting down to is that now its looks like all little projects..
which is good, lets go for it..
But out of the box, we dont want make imho..
This aint gonna run on windows and part of my "sales pitch"
is go.. ie no make.. (am trying to wean old c/c++ and c# coders)

get the drift..
does it make sense..
its a makeFile.. "Wtf is a makefile and how do I use it said le windows coder on her xp ?"
WindowsFileTranslation I replied, and then explain windows.. vs make

anyway...
minor point trying 2 make
only cos its neat and works for me and thanks Ian ;-) and all

We are using Mailhog fairly extensively at work on test instances and members of development teams have been mentioning an issue with regards to underscores in links in the HTML body being wrongly interpreted as spaces.

For example if the email body has a link email_activation it gets interpreted as email%20activation. This apparently happens for all links that use underscores as we also see this glitch with image names that contain underscores that then just 404.

I hope this makes sense and if we need to investigate further I will involve some of my developer colleagues to shine some more light on this.

I installed the latest Docker image assuming it would contain the latest version of MailHog, however it doesn't. This is probably due how the project has been setup over multiple GitHub projects. Docker Hub only allows you to watch a single GitHub project so if a fix is done inside of one of the other projects and no changes are required in the main project, the docker image won't be rebuilt.

An easy fix is to have some kind of version information somewhere in the main repository so that it is registered as a change. Because in other issues you mention version 0.1.3 which would contain the fix for HTML mail. But there is no file in the main repository that mentions this version number (or 0.1.1 and 0.1.2). After creating my own image with the Dockerfile the HTML issue is BTW fixed.

When trying to send utf8-mails the =?utf8-Prefix is not interpreted and the whole mail looks broken in the web interface (see screenshot)

I would love to have an option to have all emails forwarded to an SMTP server. I was thinking of something like using command-line options as such:

Mailhog -outgoing-smtp smtpServer -auto-forward TestServer

This would require the contents of smtpServer to look something like:
{
"TestServer": {
"Name": "TestServer",
"Save": true,
"Email": "[email protected]",
"Host": "webmail.emailAddr.com",
"Port": "25",
"Username": "",
"Password": "",
"Mechanism": "PLAIN"
}
}

The auto-forward would require a server from the provided config. You could require that there be an email address provided in the server given to the auto-forward option, and default save to true. If you want to go crazy, you could use the recipient of the email sent to mailhog and if there's a server in the config that matches that address, it would automatically forward there. In this case you could eliminate the server name from the auto-forward argument and just default to the first server in the list if the email address doesn't match any of them.

My use case is that I have several environments I want to run automation against, so I want mailhog to run on each box and keep emails in memory. This eliminates the need for a central mail server or running heavy mail servers on each box. However, I want to keep a longer-lasting record so we can look back at emails from a central place that users can access via Thunderbird or SquirrelMail, as we have many different levels of user. If that server is down, our automation can at least run and pass. Right now we're tied to the central server, which gives us a single point of failure, so using mailhog as a pass-through with a local copy would solve our problems.

Applying "overflow: auto" on "body > div > div > div.col-md-10.content" allow for message list to be scrolled but it doesn't solve problem all the way as the last message is still not visible.

See #35 - add support for message sorting in MailHog UI (and related changes to in memory and mongo storage)

I love this server, but unfrotunately it's not working for me. It works fine when sending messages from jenkins' regular email program, but I get this error when I attemp to send them from the extended email plugin. (and, since I'm just a user and know next to nothing about stmp, not sure how to troubleshoot). It would be helpful if the mailhog logs had a debug setting so I could see why it's closing the connection.

Hi,
I don't know if that is a bug, but I noticed that the UI is only displaying the last email address when the email has multiple receivers on field 'to'.

Also, congrats for the great job on MailHog!

Thanks!

I have a MailHog daemon running with default options.
I'm currently trying to use MailHog sendmail <email addr> to send a mail to MailHog.
(Later, my goal is to set PHPs sendmail_path = "/path/to/MailHog sendmail".)

However, this does not work as expected. MailHog sendmail is always trying to bind to localhost:1025, which is already used by the MailHog daemon.

When I try using the separate mhsendmail binary, then it works just fine. So either I haven't understood the concept, or something is going wrong...

Any chance to make it happen? :)

I get a fancy looking jedi octocat page when I try to download the latest release.
