If your like me, you might want enable delivering of mail in development, mostly because testing email layout is a pain without actually sending the email to a real client.
In doing this you’ll probably want to avoid the possibility of emails making their way to your customers from your development machine, this can be achieved with a simple initializer to override the destination.
Rails 2.x
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | if Rails.env.development? class ActionMailer::Base def create_mail_with_overriding_recipients mail = create_mail_without_overriding_recipients mail.to = "mail@robaldred.co.uk" #mail.cc = #mail.bcc = end alias_method_chain :create_mail, :overriding_recipients end end |
Rails 3.x
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | if Rails.env.development? class OverrideMailReciptient def self.delivering_email(mail) mail.to = "mail@robaldred.co.uk" end end ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor(OverrideMailReciptient) end |
If you prefer to use a plugin, there is one called mail_safe personally, i think it’s a little overkill.
