Important restrictions

For development and testing only, not a production SMTP delivery service. Requires a compatible Ruby runtime and local/CI resources; messages are captured rather than delivered to customers, and test content may be sensitive.

Independent community listing, not affiliated with the provider. Always check the latest billing policy and quotas before enabling paid usage.
