Do you install this on the Vagrant box or on your host machine?

@kalenjohnson: you can install it on your vagrant box and access it through your box's IP and port 8025

Tested this and works nicely (Ubuntu 14.04). Make sure to open port 8025 (if firewall present) and restart mailhog with sudo service mailhog restart.
