Laravel Homestead and MailCatcher

Using MailCatcher http://mailcatcher.me/ I can see the emails sent by the website.

First checkout https://github.com/fideloper/Vaprobash/pull/348 to get your box ready
All I did was

Log into the vagrant box and run

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Then

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev -y
sudo gem install mailcatcher

Then

sudo gem install mailcatcher -V

Set your mail.php config

This is found in app/config and should be copied to app/config/local so it only applies to local

#app/config/local/mail.php
<?php
return array(

	'driver' => 'smtp',
	'host' => '192.168.33.10',
	'port' => 1025,
        'from' => array('address' => 'admin@test.com', 'name' => 'Foo Bar'),
        'encryption' => '',
//    'username' => null,
//    'password' => null,

);

Finally reload vagrant

vagrant reload

And start up mailcatcher inside of vagrant.

mailcatcher --ip=192.168.33.10

And you are set. http://192.168.33.10:1080 works

Log into the vagrant box and run

Set your mail.php config
