Sending and capturing email

Sending/capturing email support can be added via MailHog.

Out-of-the box only capturing will be working.
For email delivery you will have to point MailHog to a working mail server/service.

Setup

1. Add the mail service in docker-compose.yml

   Replace <project_name> with your project name.

   mail:
     hostname: mail
     image: mailhog/mailhog
     expose:
       - "80"
     environment:
       - MH_API_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:80
       - MH_UI_BIND_ADDR=0.0.0.0:80
       - DOMAIN_NAME=mail.<project_name>.docker
       - VIRTUAL_HOST=webmail.<project_name>.drude
   

   Apply new configuration with dsh up

2. Add to .drude/etc/php5/php.ini in the project repo

   Replace <project_name> with your project name.

   ; Mail settings
   sendmail_path = '/usr/local/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr=mail.<project_name>.docker:1025'
   

   Note: if using version 2 docker-compose file format, then you may use this instead

   ; Mail settings
   sendmail_path = '/usr/local/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr=mail:1025'
   

MailHog web UI will be available at http://webmail.<project_name>.drude
