Following part need to implement in this feature.

  1. Create a section in admin panel where test user name and email can be added.

  2. Then those test email will be used in other then production environment for all kind of emails despatch.

  3. In all test emails of any feature include actual user Nickname and email address. e.g If a tester is receiving email for a supporter named "gautam" then that email must contain a part in body at top with highlighted colors " You are receiving this email as test user on behalf of gautam ( gautamv16@gmail.com )

We need to get this into the 2.0 system.

Based on the discussion we had today (ie. 27-Jan-2022), Iffort has proposed to use a tool like Mailtrap that provides Email Sandbox Service. The benefits of using such tools are

  1. Very simple to use, no need to make any modification in the codebase. It is exactly the simulation of the production environment. We just need to specify the SMTP details in the environment file.
  2. All emails go to the Mailtrap inbox.
  3. We can validate/test the email for the different devices (Desktop & mobile).
  4. View messages, check spam scores, validate headers, analyze the HTML support across email clients.
  5. Manage access to your inboxes for colleagues or clients. Send selected test emails to whitelisted real recipients.

Pricing of the tools The tool is free for individuals for evaluation but it offers different pricing plans for small & large businesses. My recommendation would be to buy a subscription for Team. Below is the link to review the various plan for your reference. Mailtrap Pricing Plan: https://mailtrap.io/pricing/

@BrentAllsop what do you think about the approach suggested above?

sunnyjindal commented 2 years ago

@BrentAllsop We can also discuss this in our next call on Thursday.

Hi Guys, we don't have a such complicated email system that we need to use this tool. We never had any issues in email and all is working smoothly. So as per me mendril is working perfectly and unnecessary we don't require to change it. We need to have customised admin based system for emails where we don't need to rely on any third party.

@gautamv16 Hi Gautam, this is not a replacement for any existing system. I am assuming that the existing system is sending emails to the user's inbox (which can be live or the test users). And I am not sure whether the existing system (Mandrill) has an option of a sandbox environment. Mailtrap captures SMTP traffic for staging and development environments and it is only used by the developers or testers so that we should avoid accidentally sending emails to the live users.

Hey Ashish,

Sendgrid have sandbox testing. Sendgrid test

Sendgrid offers sandbox mode and sink email addresses for email developers.

  1. Test the API integration in the sandbox mode. In Sendgrid, it’s a mail_settings parameter, which helps validate email sending requests. Sandbox mode allows checking the parameters of your JSON payload. If any errors were found, it returns their detailed description. You can find more information and examples in Sendgrid documentation https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/sandbox-mode/. It doesn’t affect any of the real sending parameters.
  2. Check the email sending speed. This option can be useful for preparing large bulk email campaigns. Sendgrid has a “black hole” domain @ sink.sendgrid.net. It will accept all the messages and immediately remove them. If you have a dedicated IP address, this type of test won’t affect its warm up. However, all emails sent to this domain will be counted as billable.
