Configure InvoiceShelf to use MailHog

I enjoy InvoiceShelf since I migrated to it in December 2024. InvoiceShelf is open-source invoicing software. I do not allow it to send emails, but I’m exploring the idea.

How to prevent local web apps from sending emails

I run MailHog. It’s an open-source email catcher that allows me to see what emails sites running on my computer have tried to send.

Configure InvoiceShelf to use MailHog

Go to Settings > Mail Configuration.

• Mail Driver: smtp
• Mail Host: 127.0.0.1
• Mail Port: 1025
• Mail Encryption: none
