# MailStoreAgent

## Background

Most websites that authenticate users require some form of user account self-management.

Users need to register with e-mail and password, verify their e-mail address,

and to occasionally reset their e-mail and password.

I like to delegate this to other services with [OpenID](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID)

 and [OAuth](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oauth),

but not all clients agree to delegate ownership of their customers' authentication records.

So I'm often stuck with implementing these boilerplace features yet again,

each of the above use-cases require sending out e-mails to confirm or facilitate.

Testing this can be a pain-in-the-butt.

Fortunately, [Mikel Lindsaar](https://github.com/mikel)'s

[Mail](https://github.com/mikel/mail) gem

has a simple and effective way to store and not send e-mails in order to facilitate test scripts.

    Mail::TestMailer

    Mail.defaults do

      delivery_method :test

    end

    # send a few mails ...

    Mail::TestMailer.deliveries.is_a? Array # ==> true

    Mail::TestMailer.deliveries.first.is_a? Mail::Message # ==> true

I want to take this a step further so that I can verify that mail got sent to the right people in the right order:

## SYNOPSIS

    require 'mail'

    require 'mail-store-agent'

    Mail.defaults do

      delivery_method :test

    end

    Mail::TestMailer.deliveries = MailStoreAgent.new

    # send some mail to [email protected], and then ...

    Mail::TestMailer.deliveries.get('[email protected]').is_a? Mail::Message # or nil
