Email testing is always complicated:
- your local enviromnent hasn't a configured SMTP server
- the global mail server is damn slow
- your spam filter impremeable configured
This app should solve a couple of your problems:
- easy setup
- fancy shiny GUI
Mailcatcher hooks into the mail function, it parsed the mail and persist all important imformations in a sqlite-db.
Mailcatcher is written in PHP with Silex and Doctrine2.
- clone the project
- make
app/client.phpexecutable - uncomment the
sendmail_pathand add the mailcatcher script
sendmail_path = /path/to/mailcatcher/app/client.php
- make
bin/start_serverexecutable and execute./bin/start_server
After this you can reach Mailcatcher under http://localhost:8080
Follow the steps 1-3 from above. Then you have to create a vhost in your webserver configuration. The document-root must point on web.
