is the mail_catcher service behavior and usage documented somewhere?

U01BZ7Q3XRV

I only know of this page here: https://docs.spryker.com/docs/scos/dev/the-docker-sdk/202204.0/configure-services.html#configure-mailhog

U03T08LE3CP

I don't get how it works, on that page it has that custom_endpoints setting but in docker/generator/src/templates/env/common.env.twig it hard codes the host to mail_catcher

U03T08LE3CP

I can't even override those in deploy.yml

U03T08LE3CP

or disable the whole thing, how do I do that 😄

U024R34QUR4

you can test via forgot password or subscribe for the newsletter

U024R34QUR4

ah I misunderstood ... I thought you want to test it

U03T08LE3CP

well that would be a good start

U03T08LE3CP

as I see it the defaults cannot work

U024R34QUR4

it does work for me with almost the default dev docker setup, tested with both scenarios above

U024R34QUR4

subscribe to the newsletter with your email, it should popup in the mailhog inbox

U03T08LE3CP

OK I reverted this https://docs.spryker.com/docs/scos/dev/feature-integration-guides/202212.0/mailing-and-notifications-feature-integration.html#install-feature-core and it works

U03T08LE3CP

so now I need to figure out how to disable mailhog

U03T08LE3CP

well or just give up since it works in the cloud env 😄

U03T08LE3CP

so that doc is a bit misleading, you don't need that

U03T08LE3CP

also if I need to test actual sending locally I would just use my own ENV variables in config.php

U024R34QUR4

I found this in the env files of the docker sdk

SPRYKER_SMTP_HOST=mail_catcher
SPRYKER_SMTP_PORT=1025

U024R34QUR4

I suppose you've either configure DSN for the corresponding provider available (https://symfony.com/doc/current/mailer.html) or create and register your custom provider

Mail catcher is needed for the local development. Can be enabled or disabled via deploy file - https://github.com/spryker-shop/suite/blob/master/deploy.dev.yml#L257-L260.
If you need to disable it, just remove it from the deploy file.
Don't forget to run docker/sdk bootstrap {your_deploy_file} each time you make changes there.
In our PaaS mail catcher isn't available OOTB as there is AWS SES in place.

yeah I figured it out. Not the best documentation on that..
