PHPMailer question

[Kevin]

Does anyone know if it is possible to configure PHPMailer so that
instead of actually sending the message it writes its contents out to a
file (i.e., including all the message headers, boundaries, etc.)?

Thanks,
Kevin

you should have a look into methods official documentation, but I don't
think you can redirect the out into a file...:-/

Sure, why don't you BCC it to a local address and have your sendmail
aliases file set to file this alias?

Or if you don't want the mail sent at all, just put this file address
in the To slot of the PHP mail function call.

You are doing this on a good OS like Unix, right?

I have no clue how to do this on Windows but it must be possible.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I was able to get the result I wanted by creating a child class of PHPMailer
that defines a new mailer "file". If someone else is searching through the
groups for an answer to this, look at PHPMailer's send() function. You can
get the results by concatting $this->CreateHeader() and $this->CreateBody()
but first you need to call $this->SetMessageType() (and setting
$this->ContentType if there's an AltBody).
