So make a note that when you update MAMP (or if you toggle between PHP versions) you will need to reconfigure the sendmail_path in your php.ini. When MAMP updates are installed, they generally include updated versions of PHP, and configuration changes to the php.ini are usually lost. Using either of these in the sendmail config seemed to work in my use case, but I kept 1.0.0 in the config.
My homebrew install contained both 0.2.1 and 1.0.0. Fortunately, Homebrew is super easy to install. The below code can be modified to change SMTP Server, From and To Email address, Subject, Body, Attachment, and other parameters.
The attachment can be referred to any location or generated from the script itself. To find the current version run $ brew info mailhog. First, I used a package manager for macOS called Homebrew. Below is a code snippet to send an email with an attachment from the SharePoint server using PowerShell script. Type sudo apachectl start and press enter. To start the built-in Apache server, open the Terminal app from your Application folder or type Terminal in the Spotlight Search (shortcut: Command + Space Bar). on Ubuntu: apt-get install openvpn easy-rsa). macOS comes with Apache Server by default. The instructions are very similar for most flavours of linux such as Ubuntu once the correct packages are installed (e.g.
Change value to below: sendmail_path = /usr/local/Cellar/mailhog/1.0.0/bin/MailHog sendmail MailHog version is 1.0.0. This guide covers how to create certificates and keys for OpenVPN server and clients using the EasyRSA tool on MacOS. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local (on macOS Intel).
Search for sendmail_path in your php.ini, by default is is commented out, uncomment it. Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Lastly, we need to configure MAMP's PHP to use MailHog.Įdit the php.ini for the version of PHP you are using with MAMP.In MAMP: File > Edit Template > PHP (php.ini) > 7.1.8 (latest PHP MAMP includes at the time of writing this). Now you can access MailHog at it's default location, Open up terminal for the following steps. You'll use the terminal to encode your API key and input the commands that initiate a Telnet connection.Install MailHog with MAMP Pro, using HomeBrew.įirst let's make sure HB is updated.
Create and store a SendGrid API key with full access "Mail Send" permissions.Prerequisitesīe sure to perform the following prerequisites to complete this tutorial. Once you complete this process, you will be better prepared to explore and build messages using the X-SMTPAPI header. This page will help you send a first test message using Telnet.
The X-SMTPAPI header is parsed by SendGrid to modify your message in the ways you specify.įor a deeper dive into what SMTP is, the benefits of sending an email with SMTP, and how SendGrid can help, see the SMTP Service Crash Course on our blog. SendGrid’s SMTP API also allows you to specify custom email handling instructions using a JSON encoded list called the X-SMTPAPI header. For the purpose of this tutorial I used Homebrew (Mac and Linux). This means you can count on SendGrid's delivery at scale for your SMTP needs. On its Github page it states MailHog runs without installation but you still need to download it and that can be done a few different ways: GitHub, Docker, Compose, Homebrew or Golang. SendGrid provides an SMTP service that allows you to deliver your email via our servers instead of your own client or server. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a quick and easy way to send email from one server to another. You can also send email with the UI and with the API.
