question: Is brew not macOS only?

If so, I guess we could add a notice or similar commands for Linux (SystemD: systemctl --user edit mailhog.service --full --force and fill the config file) and Windows (sc.exe create mailhog binpath= "c:\Program Files\mailhog" start= auto).

Brew is only for macOS. I feel like I remember hearing about someone using it on another platform, but that's not the intended use. Happy to add those 2 comments that you put, but I'm not sure if I'm quite following where you'd want them of what you mean by fill in the config file. Mind elaborating a bit and I'll make the changes? 🙂
