quick tip: send emails on mac

For some reason my local Ruby on Rails applications weren’t sending e-mails, so I found out that all you need is to write the following on terminal:

sudo postfix start

And that’s it, now I can send emails from applications running on my Mac. Nice!

Yup, but e-mails sent from regular isp accounts are usually regarded as spam.

Yes, I only needed it to test sending emails from my Rails applications.
