Maillog
The Maillog module provides a method of keeping archival copies of all emails
sent through the site. It can also, optionally, display a copy of the email
using the Devel module, if present.
Features
-
All emails being sent by the site may have a copy stored in the database for
later review. -
All email delivery may be halted, preventing a site from sending out emails
in situations where that might not be needed, e.g. for a local development
copy of the site. -
If the Devel module https://www.backdropcms.org/project/devel is installed, emails
can also be displayed on the page as they are being sent. -
If the MailSystem module https://www.backdropcms.org/project/mailsystem is
installed it is possible to control which of the installed email modules will
be used to send messages from Maillog's settings page, mirroring MailSystem's
functionality.
Configuration
-
On the User Accounts Permissions administration page ("Administer >> Configure
People >> Permissions") there are three permissions to control:
-
The "Administer Maillog" permission allows users to access the settings
page to control the module's options. -
The "View Maillog" permission allows users to access the Maillog list page
at admin/reports/maillog. -
The "Delete Entries from the log" permission allows users to delete items
from the log page.
-
-
The main administrative page controls the module's settings page:
admin/config/development/maillog
Troubleshooting / known issues
If the email is not being logged then the site's default email system is not
configured correctly. It is recommended to use the MailSystem module
https://www.backdropcms.org/project/mailsystem to help with this. Alternatively, edit
the system.mail.json file in your active config folder:
"default-system": "MaillogMailSystem",
