Dev used to use mailcatcher but now uses mailhog. See [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727)

Bitnami installs are not supported here, but you might be able to get one of those working?
