Cuttlefish is an easy to setup and easy to use open source transactional email server

It ensures that your emails arrive at their destination by continuously monitoring the deliverability of your emails.
Sending a few emails from your app is easy. Sending lots becomes painful. There are so many hidden gotchas. Do your emails get delivered? Are you being considered a spammer? What about all those bounced emails?

Dependencies: Ruby 1.9.3, bundler
Let's making sending lots of emails fun again!

And without the hidden dangers of vendor lock in of commercial transactional email services.

* Send email from your application using smtp in the usual way and get all sorts of added benefits for no effort
* A lovely web UI to browse what's happening
* Monitor in real time which emails arrive at their destination and which bounce
* Automatically not send emails to destinations that have hard bounced in the past
* Track which emails are opened
* Statistics on emails sent, soft/hard bounced and held back
* Check your IP reputation with one click
* Easy to install and get going quickly
* Open source, so no vendor lock in.

Things on the cards

* REST API for deep integration with your application
* Multiple applications can each have their own SMTP authentication
* Super-easy link tracking
