MailCatcher & DumpServer Console

Intercept outgoing SMTP emails and inspect Laravel dump() calls in real-time.

MailCatcher Inbox

Stratos includes an embedded SMTP socket listener on port 1025. All emails sent by your local PHP or Node apps are captured and rendered in a searchable master-detail inbox.

Laravel .env Mail Setup

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Laravel DumpServer Debug Console

Stratos runs a TCP dump server listener on port 9912. Any call to dump($var) or dd($var) in your Laravel application outputs formatted HTML variables directly into the Stratos Dump console tab.

Pruning & Memory Safety

To prevent unbounded RAM growth during large test suites, Stratos enforces a maximum buffer limit of 500 email and dump entries with oldest-first automatic pruning.
