Instrutions for email testing

MailCatcher

MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface.

Bundler

Please don't put mailcatcher into your Gemfile. It will conflict with your applications gems at some point.

Instead, pop a note in your README stating you use mailcatcher. Simply run gem install mailcatcher then mailcatcher to get started.

And

On a Vagrant Ubuntu VM it works by :

adding a port forwarding in Vagrantfile => config.vm.network :forwarded_port, host: 1080, guest: 1080 launching mailcatcher => mailcatcher --ip=0.0.0.0 - remark: Do not set only http with command mailcatcher --http-ip=0.0.0.0
