Testing mail app in development environment

Hi all,
I’m a little confused about my testing environment.
I’m just trying the samples mail app mcr06 - only send a form via email. I’m working on a linux server with postfix installed. The server name is linux.

What do I have to configure in the macro sc_mail_send on my localhost that the mail form works?

How do you test mail apps in development environment?

In general you need a reachable mailserver with smtp. Then you simply setup the mail as always. Doesn’t matter if your dev environment is test or production. You need the credentials and name of a webserver and just fill in the right data. Be aware that the samples are generic, for sure you need to adjust the used parameters. I always create a preference table to store these.

Hi Albert, thanks for your comment. I got it working… First I tried to work with local mail accounts but that failed.
I didn’t know that I may use all the “live” mail servers in development environment :wink:
