Currently mail/mailx and mutt are supported. Mac usually will have mail installed already. To use mutt:

brew install mutt

Or on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install mutt

Start a server.

node app.js

Navigate to localhost:8000/email_list to view.

Send a test email request.

wget --post-data 'body=foo&from=bar&to=foo&subject=bar&delayTime=10000' -qO - http://localhost:8000/email

Optional

Edit the lib/emailQueue/mailCommand.json file to use another email client, mutt for example.

{
  "mailFunction" : "mutt"
}

Default is to use mail.

To track email history. Install mongodb:

brew install mongodb

Then you will need to point the email-queue app to your mongo server, by setting the environment variable:

EMAIL_QUEUE_MONGO_URL=mongodb://bob:bobIScool@localhost:27017/test

Use the http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/ format for your "databaseUrl".
