Use Mailhog for E-mail testing

Mailhog is a tool that can be used when testing sending emails with the Smart ID component Identity Manager.

Useful commands

<SMARTIDHOME>/tools/mailhog/docker-compose up -d

<SMARTIDHOME>/tools/mailhog/docker-compose stop

<SMARTIDHOME>/tools/mailhog/docker-compose logs -f

Change mailhog ports

1. Edit <SMARTIDHOME>/tools/mailhog/docker-compose.yml and change the ports to the left of the colons. Restart the container to apply the changes

   Change ports

       ports:
         - 1025:1025 # smtp server
         - 8025:8025 # web ui

2. Configure your Smart ID component with the following settings if mailhog is deployed to the same host as the component. If mailhog is deployed to another host, replace the SMTP host with the hostname/ip address, and make sure that the Smart ID host can access mailhog on port 1025.

   SMTP Host: mailhog
   SMTP Port: 1025
   Sender: test@example.com
