It is similar to +[mailhog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog), +[maildev](https://github.com/maildev/maildev), and a bunch of others. The key +differentiator to these services is that it is written in Rust, making it +extremely resource efficient. Mailhug is, in theory, able to handle giant loads +of e-mail on resource constraint hardware without even blinking. In addition, +mailhug features a REST API with a React interface - all in a single binary and +therefore simple to deploy. + +Some first tests were promising. However, mailhug never really got anywhere and +I lost interest. There are many alternatives to choose from, which are more +mature and fine for any realistic workload. + +For all these reasons mailhug had to move to the attic. :broken_heart:
