The Simple Mail Test module allows you to send a single email to a configurable email address using a Drupal site's default mailsystem.
The primary use case for this module is to check where default emails are sent. Other (more complex) mail modules offer this functionality, and this test can also be run from a simple Drush script.
Ensure your mail system, local environment or server is configured to send mail.
Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See: https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.
Alter the default testing address at
/admin/config/system/settings/simple-mail-test
Submitting the form sets the default email address, and triggers an email to be sent.
Don't want to install another Drupal module? Run this simple Drush script instead:
drush php-eval '$mailManager Drupal::service("plugin.manager.mail");
$params["context"]["subject"] = "Test mail subject.";
$params["context"]["message"] = "Test mail message.";
$to = "email@example.com";
$langcode = "en";
$result = $mailManager->mail("system", "mail", $to, $langcode, $params);
if ($result["result"] !== true) {
echo t("There was a problem sending your mail.");
}
else {
echo t("Your message has been sent.");
}'
Obviously, set email@example.com to an email address of your chosing. You
may also wish to change the language code $langcode.
