I find mailtrap.io really handful, how anybody would prefer this option? genuine question
docker run -d --name=mailpit --restart unless-stopped -p 8025:8025 -p 1025:1025 axllent/mailpit

This test data isn't something that should be leaving the local network either.
Can you run mailtrap.io on your local machine or in your data center?

Oops, I accidentally set it to send all the emails. How much does it cost to handle 500 email in the next few minutes? Mailpit is free.

That 500 test email that were sent to mailpit, they're correct and should be sent out to the testers.

What is the cost to forward 500 emails this week? And again next week?

Mailpit (and its predecessor Mailhog) were not difficult at all to spin up and test. Any developer with docker running on their machine can do local testing without any issues. Data never leaves the machine or intranet - this makes security types sweat less.
