Question

In my development environment, I use a copy of the production database when testing locally. For reasons both for testing and simply for protection against sending out test/dev emails to real users, what’s the best way to override the mail-to address when in development mode?

I know I can write logic in each mailer, but I have several and it would be nice to put it all in once place. Can I override the mail() method somehow to make the :to parameter always point at an email address I specify?

I think the best option is to use a service like mailtrap.io: http://mailtrap.io or mailcatcher gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/mailcatcher
