On this page
Introduction

MailCatcher is an indispensable tool for developers that provides an uncomplicated SMTP MTA gateway for accepting and handling all emails. It is designed as a Ruby gem, making it easily integratable into your Ruby projects. It deceptively simplifies the complex process of email handling and presents it in an intuitive web interface.

MailCatcher

Features

The primary feature of MailCatcher is its ability to catch all emails sent through the SMTP protocol. Instead of allowing these mails to go to their intended recipients, they are routed to the web interface provided by MailCatcher. This allows developers to check the content, format, and overall design of the emails before they are sent out, eliminating potential issues.

Furthermore, being constructed as a Ruby gem means that no additional installation or configuration steps are needed once integrated into your project. Just ‘Catch them all’ and audit your emails before they get dispatched. The Web Interface that comes with MailCatcher is not only visually pleasing but also systematically designed for ease of use. With MailCatcher, you can have complete control over your project's email dispatching system.
