quick tip: send emails on mac

August 26th, 2008 • Apple, Blog, Programming

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.
