Steve Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'd like to test sending confirmation and invoice emails, but I'm on localhost. How can I test it without having a live site? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traumflug Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Have a mail server on localhost. On Debian/Ubuntu, that's none sudo apt-get install postfix mailutils This brings up a configuration screen on the terminal where the command is issued. Choose local for the type of installation and defaults for everything else. Having this done, one can use mail on the command line to send and receive mail already. PHP should pick it up as well. Getting a graphical mail client into reading local mails is a bit more complex, described e.g. here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/2261/how-are-administrators-supposed-to-read-roots-mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 @traumflug Thanks for your reply! Is this also possible on Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traumflug Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 What is this, "Windows"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datakick Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 @Steve, if your php can't send emails directly, you can always use stmp. Simply enter your credentials for your gmail (or any other) account, and thirtybees will send emails through this email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
