Mailhog as alternative to gmail as mail sender
-
Hi!
Love the great work & effort you've been putting into Laragon!
Behind huge company proxies it can be difficult to use mail trap / send services as they generate traffic which is frowned upon by company IT.
But there's a locally available alternative to these online services, which can happily introduce chaos in to the connection as well. It's called MailHog
https://github.com/mailhog/MailHogIt's got ready made windows binaries as well which can be configured by the command line or environment variables.
I don't presume to know how much work goes into on-boarding a tool like mySQL or any version of php for that matter, but It doesn't seem as the hardest challenge in the basket

@blackfyre : Many thanks for your information.
I'll think about adding it to Laragon because it will increase the installer size (+11 MB).In the meantime, you can easily add MailHog to
autorunwith Laragon using Procfile:
