From the Mailpit README:

> Mailpit was originally inspired by MailHog which is no longer maintained and hasn't seen active development or security updates for a few years now.

Curious as to why it would need updates.

Security updates sure, but what really needs to update on an STMP (+ TLS?) solution?

Third-party libraries? TLS has definitely had its fair share of implementation and protocol vulnerabilities.

Although in mailhog's case it looks like STARTTLS was never implemented. Hence the forks.

It's a web application too, not just a SMTP server. The MailHog web app is a little rough around the edges (it's an early AngularJS app) and had some bugs involving HTML mail content, so I can see the need for an updated version.
