I work with PHP and I have mamp on my machine. I would like to send emails within my PHP code:
<?php
$to = "recipient@example.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
How can I configure a mail server for free on my mac machine ?
The following did the job. See source here.
- Edit file:
sudo emacs /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
.
- Add
<key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <true/>
before the closing </dict>
tag.
- Run
sudo postfix start
.
Check that SMPT is running: telnet localhost 25
Option 1:
CommandLineFu had this one liner to run an SMTP server on port 25:
sudo python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:25
This will run a fake smtp server on your local machine. It won't send anything, but will dump it to the console.
Option 2:
Incase, you are not comfortable with command line then FakeSMTP is a Free Fake SMTP Server with GUI for testing emails in applications easily. It is written in Java. It is very nice and easy to use.
