Quick Vagrant example displaying the benefits of using Fermata for a fake SMTP daemon
vagrant up --provision
vagrant ssh mailtest
Fermata Web UI = http://localhost:9092
Fermata SMTP = smtp://localhost:2500
Web UI for Sending Test Emails = http://localhost/
I modified the code from Srinivas Tamada's 9lessons website, for the email generation code, so thank you for your blog article on this.

When using this example please be careful on who you send test emails to, by default the app should send to a localhost on port 2500 so should be safe and uses one of the RFC example domains http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606#section-3
