Usage

Install Package

composer require laravolt/mailkeeper

Enable or disable mailkeeper via environment variable:

MAILKEEPER_ENABLED=false

Other configuration can be read at config/laravolt/mailkeeper.php:

<?php

return [
    // Enable/disable mailkeeper.
    // If enable, every outgoing mail will be intercepted.
    // So, instead of send it via SMTP or other mail driver, mailkeeper will store it to database for further use.
    'enabled' => env('MAILKEEPER_ENABLED', false),
    
    // How many rows to take for each "laravolt:send-mail" command
    'take'    => 100,
];
