## Development Status

Inbucket is currently production quality: it is being used for real work.

Please see the [Change Log] and [Issues List] for more details.  If you'd like
to contribute code to the project check out [CONTRIBUTING.md].


## Homebrew Tap

Inbucket has an OS X [Homebrew] tap available as [jhillyerd/inbucket][Homebrew Tap],
see the `README.md` there for installation instructions.


## Building from Source

You will need a functioning [Go installation][Google Go] for this to work.

Grab the Inbucket source code and compile the daemon:

    go get -v github.com/jhillyerd/inbucket

Edit etc/inbucket.conf and tailor to your environment.  It should work on most
Unix and OS X machines as is.  Launch the daemon:

    $GOPATH/bin/inbucket $GOPATH/src/github.com/jhillyerd/inbucket/etc/inbucket.conf

By default the SMTP server will be listening on localhost port 2500 and
the web interface will be available at [localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000/).
