 ### Configuring sendmail
 
 Mailpit's SMTP server (by default on port 1025), so you will likely need to configure your sending application to deliver mail via that port. A common MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) that delivers system emails to a SMTP server is `sendmail`, used by many applications including PHP. Mailpit can also act as substitute for sendmail. For instructions of how to set this up, please refer to the [sendmail documentation](https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/wiki/Configuring-sendmail).

-## Why rewrite MailHog?
-
-I had been using MailHog for a few years to intercept and test emails, but experienced a number of severe performance issues. Many of the frontend and Go libraries are very out of date, and the project [is no longer maintained](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/issues/442#issuecomment-1493415258).
-
-Initially I tried to upgrade a fork of MailHog (the UI, the HTTP server and the API), but discovered that it is (with all due respect to its authors) far too complex. I found it over-engineered (split over 9 separate projects), and performs very poorly when dealing with large amounts of emails or emails with attachments (a single email with a 3MB attachment can take over a minute to ingest). Finally the API transmits a lot of duplicate & irrelevant data on every browser request, all without any HTTP compression.
-
-In order to improve it I felt it needed to be completely rewritten, and so Mailpit was born.
