Testing your email notifications with MailCatcher.

    Often its hard to test email notifications sent from our application. MailCatcher is a gem which helps you to check those mails sent from your application.
Install the gem as 'gem install mailcatcher' and run 'mailcatcher' on your console. This  will start two servers. One smtp server(on 1025 port), use this server to sent mails. Another server, web server, helps us to view the 'sent' email on our browser 'http://localhost:1080/'. I tested it on Chrome 5.
