I have Mamp Pro and have a PHP application that sends an email password to someone regestering in a regester/login system. I would like to test the email being sent on my local Mamp Pro server but cant figure out how to do it with gmail--it seems a lot of people have this problem with gmail. Are there any suggestions how I can configure an email account to test this.
Has anyone had this problem also?
Thanks
use mail()

I'm able to configure SMTP server so that whenever a ticket is created in Trac, the ticket will be sent to the gmail id.
Now the Email to Trac plugin and Mail 2 Trac Plugin works in such a way that, the emails received from the trac system will be replied back and the reply of that mail will be posted automatically as the comment in the ticket.
How to test this plugin functionality in localhost ? I donot know how to setup SMTP server so that I can receive emails generated by trac system inside my machine and I dont have idea how the reverse case (reply to the email) will work locally in my machine.
I'm working in Ubuntu 14.0.4
Guide me on how to do this.
I think smtp_replyto is simply set to an email address, e.g. root#localhost. That's all for the Trac part. Then install an SMTP server on your local machine. Refer to this posting for how to do configure the SMTP server.
i'm running a new store on magento, the contact us show successfully sent email to me, but i didn't get any email. i'm using google email address, but for the vps setting i'm not sure how to set up it. as i'm using linux vps.
If you are using personal VPS hosting, you have to install email server or ask support to do that. The most popular one for Linux is Postfix. You can find a lot of information how to install postfix depend on Linux distrubution. I recommend you to install postfix and use mysql to configure such settings like email forwarding, user list, etc.
I recently signed up for my client Google Apps for Business. Everything setup fine and verification all done.
The only problem is I cannot receive mail to the newly setup mail. I can send out mail no problem.
It seems like the SMTP server had changed but pop3 or IMAP server still using the old one.
How can I resolve that? Thanks!
I am using Contact Form 7 with Wordpress, but I am experiencing an email compatibility issue.
I have the form setup to email to email#domain.ca, domain.ca being the domain of the website hosting the site. The email address exists and works great, however the Contact Form keeps failing on send.
If I change the email address to any of my Gmail or other accounts, it works fine.
I am looking for ideas or suggestions as to how I might debug this. Is it because the site is hosted on a shared hosting server but the mail server is in-house at the physical location?
Any ideas would be great.
Ended up being an MX Entry problem with the shared host.
I had to set the MX Entry to send mail to an external host instead of the internal mail servers (it didn't realize the mail server was external).
Problem solved and all is well.
EDIT: We have run into this issue multiple times now with the hosting.
Essentially, cPanel gives you an option to say that mail servers are external, but it often fails to deliver on actually making the change. We have to remove the mail servers and hardcode the external one in order to make it work properly and consistently.
Might be php or smtp mail restrictions at your hosting service. Try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
how does one go about getting email to work in a default MAMP installation? not sure if this is relevant but im trying to send emails from a codeigniter app and whatever protocol i use (mail, sendmail, or smtp), emails never arrive
anyone?
My ISP is blacklisted so its impossible to send emails from my local server. Check your mail log (/var/log/mail.log) - it may give you some useful information. I usually use google's smtp servers for sending mail during development, and then use mail() on the production server..
