Install wpMandrill first! 🙂 I use this in my personal localhost development flow, to allow emails to be sent out from a local install. Thought I\’d share it with you and make it an easy install for developers.
If you use this, let me know!!!
Basically, make sure the wpMandrill plug is installed, setup, and running on your local install, however, the plugin will do nothing if wpMandrill is not installed. 😉
Add this plug-in, go find it in the SETTINGS section of your WP install and config it.
This plug in will not reroute other plugs, like Mailpoet, that use their own mail handling or SMTP intercepts.
It works great for things like normal WordPress emails (password reminders, new users, etc,) Woocommerce, or anything that uses wp_mail to send.
