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 · January 2023

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 · January 2023

I can't even override those in deploy.yml

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

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

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

you can test via forgot password or subscribe for the newsletter

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

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

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

well that would be a good start

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

as I see it the defaults cannot work

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

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

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

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

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

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 · January 2023

so now I need to figure out how to disable mailhog

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

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

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

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

U03T08LE3CP · January 2023

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

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

I found this in the env files of the docker sdk

SPRYKER_SMTP_HOST=mail_catcher
SPRYKER_SMTP_PORT=1025

U024R34QUR4 · January 2023

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..

is the `mail_catcher` service behavior and usage documented somewhere?
