Testing emails in a safe way
Laurent Bachelier1 min read
Fear you will send the unwanted emails to other people when testing your software?
If you use Postfix, you can follow these simple steps:
Put into /etc/postfix/main.cf
:
smtp_generic_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/generic
And into /etc/postfix/generic
:
Reload postfix (this might depend on your distribution):
# /etc/init.d/postfix reload
This will rewrite all emails sent from your machine to send only to the email address provided.
Of course, change the destination email. I get enough emails already!
