# Capture Development Emails With Mailhog
|
||||
|
||||
My preferred way to capture and view emails being sent by a Rails app in
|
||||
development is to use [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog). It runs a
|
||||
local SMTP server at port `1025` and a barebones email client at port `8025`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `mailhog` utility can be installed with `brew`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ brew install mailhog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The development `smtp` settings are configured in
|
||||
`config/environments/development.rb`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
|
||||
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
|
||||
address: 'localhost',
|
||||
port: 1025,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then start running `mailhog` with its default settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ mailhog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All outgoing email from the development server will be captured and viewable in
|
||||
both `html` and `text` form at `localhost:8025`.
