# Testing with Email
Testing anything involving email is really simple using [mailhog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog)
### Step 1: Configure email service
In your `config.json` for Puter (`volatile/config/config.json` usually, `/var/puter/config.json` in containers),
add this entry to the `"services`" map:
```javascript
"services": {
// ... there are probably other service configs
"email": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 1025
}
}
```
### Step 2: Install and run mailhog
Follow the instructions on [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog)'s
repository, or install through your distro's package manager.
Run the command: `mailhog`.
You should now have an inbox at [http://127.0.0.1:8025](http://127.0.0.1:8025).
Every email that Puter sends will show up on this page.
