An issue I have to tackle on almost every project I encounter is developing, QA’ing, and troubleshooting email generated from my app. Rails provides a couple of options to help during the development and test phases (setting action_mailer.delivery_method = :test), but there aren’t any great mechanisms for performing QA with a client or troubleshooting production email issues (formatting, content, etc).

The primary value provides is that it allows you to reroute all email without having to alter any application code. It’s environment-specific and doesn’t introduce any production/deployment dependencies.
