[manuelmeister]

Currently MailHog is not actively maintained and is not available on ARM.

How about mailcatcher? I'm using that insome other projects, and even in some cypress e2e tests checking taht the correct mails are sent out. Does that work on ARM?

I assume, i could not find an official docker image. I've looked at this list: mailhog/MailHog#392

[carlobeltrame]

I'm using this Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/schickling/mailcatcher/
But it's also very easy to create our own image if needed: https://github.com/hitobito/development/blob/master/docker/mailcatcher.dockerfile

On the linked issue on MailHog, they also mention Mailpit. Could be another option. And seems to have ARM-builds on docker hub.

I will try MailDev because its here for a long time, seems to have support and usage, and is written in javascript, if really needed we could also change things more easily.
