Inbucket is an email testing service; it will accept messages for any email address and make them available via web, REST and POP3. Once compiled, Inbucket does not have any external dependencies (HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and storage are all built in).
A Go client for the REST API is available in
github.com/inbucket/inbucket/pkg/rest/client - Go API docs

Inbucket has an OS X Homebrew tap available as jhillyerd/inbucket,
see the README.md there for installation instructions.
You will need functioning Go and Node.js installations for this to work.
git clone https://github.com/inbucket/inbucket.git
cd inbucket/ui
npm i
npm run build
cd ..
go build ./cmd/inbucketNote: You may also use the included Makefile to build and test the Go binaries.
Inbucket reads its configuration from environment variables, but comes with built in sane defaults. It should work on most Unix and OS X machines as is. Launch the daemon:
./inbucketBy default the SMTP server will be listening on localhost port 2500 and the web interface will be available at localhost:9000.
See doc/config.md for more information on configuring Inbucket, but you will likely find the Configurator tool easier to use.
