OK so today I confused the hell out of my partner who does all the shipping for snowdevil.
After testing a new revision of the software I he called me and asked “Hey did you really just order 3 snowboards??!”. My local test have been dispatching emails looking just like the real thing.
Here is a simple which keeps emails going but doesn’t confuse the hell out of other people (added to your development.rb) :
ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :fixed_email
class ActionMailer::Base
def self.perform_delivery_fixed_email(mail)
mail.to = 'your.own@email-address.com'
mail.subject = '[DEV] ' + mail.subject
Net::SMTP.start(
server_settings[:address],
server_settings[:port],
server_settings[:domain],
server_settings[:user_name],
server_settings[:password],
server_settings[:authentication]) do |smtp|
smtp.sendmail(mail.encoded, mail.from, mail.destinations)
end
end
end
Now i get all the emails the system sends myself. Thats much better…

does this continue to work with more recent versions of rails? (the 0.14.* series of 1.0 release candidates.)

Here’s the version that worked for me. Note that I am using perform_delivery_smtp to send with my default SMTP settings. Replace that with perform_delivery_sendmail if you want to use the local sendmail instead.
