is the

mail_catcher

service behavior and usage documented somewhere?

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

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

you can test via forgot password or subscribe for the newsletter

well that would be a good start

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

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

I found this in the env files of the docker sdk

SPRYKER_SMTP_HOST=mail_catcher
SPRYKER_SMTP_PORT=1025

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..
