action_mailer_test_via_smtp

= action_mailer_test_via_smtp

If you want to test your e-mails not just in your log, this library is for you. It allows you to configure a test-recipient which gets all mails send via SMTP. Best for testing or staging evironments.

At the moment, this library is only tested with Rails 2.3.8

== Usage

Load the gem

config.gem "action_mailer_test_via_smtp"

and in you staging.rb (environment file) you can configure this mode

require "action_mailer_test_via_smtp" config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test_via_smtp config.action_mailer.test_recipient = "[e-mail]"

now every single mail will be sent to the test_recipient, prefixed with the original recipient.

Since 0.2.0 you can also test 'sendmail' and even 'test':

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test_via_sendmail

or

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test_via_test

I know, the gem name is not valid anymore.

== Custom Mail-Header

You can change the standard test mail header by writing your own renderer. Just set

config.test_mail_header_renderer = CustomMailHeaderRenderer

Your class should look something like this

class CustomMailHeaderRenderer < ActionMailerTestViaSmtp::HeaderRenderer::Base def test_mail_header # you can access 'mail' which is a TMail::Mail "return a prepared string" end

def test_mail_header_html
  # you can access 'mail' which is a TMail::Mail
  "return a prepared string"
end

end

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
