Catching Outgoing Mail

The edge stack includes a shared Mailcatcher so mail your projects send during development never leaves your machine — it lands in a web inbox instead.

Point your project at Mailcatcher

Every project should send its SMTP output to mailcatcher:1025 — the container’s hostname on the shared edge network. In compose or your app config, set the mailer host to mailcatcher and the port to 1025.

Automatic for Shopware

The shopware-dockware profile wires this up for you. Its override sets the relevant environment variables on the shop container automatically:

environment:
  MAILER_DSN: "smtp://mailcatcher:1025"
  MAILER_URL: "smtp://mailcatcher:1025"
  MAIL_HOST: "mailcatcher"
  MAIL_PORT: "1025"

Read the caught mail

The Mailcatcher UI is served over HTTPS at mail.<base-domain>:

open https://mail.coding9.test

Because Mailcatcher lives in the edge stack, a single inbox collects mail from all your running projects at once.

Note

The shopware-dockware profile disables each project’s own local mailcatcher service (profiles: ["off"]) so the central one in the edge stack takes over.
