Important restrictions
Development/testing only: accepts arbitrary SMTP AUTH credentials, binds to localhost by default, and does not deliver real email. Messages are stored locally; do not expose its SMTP/UI ports publicly. Hosting and storage are user-provided; this is a distinct Go implementation inspired by smtp4dev.
