I prefer self-hosting MailHog: https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog

From the Mailpit README:

> Mailpit was originally inspired by MailHog which is no longer maintained and hasn't seen active development or security updates for a few years now.

hugged to death? anyway - i got a great 429 back with a suggested try-after -time. it made me smile in appreciation! well done!

That's the wrong status code

The HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").

Unless the server believes you as an individual user were sending too many it should not have been a 429 If the server was unable to handle the volume of requests more generally it should have been a 503 which also supports Retry-After
