Test settings for mailoptions (for bolt_auth)

Question

I'm building a bolt cms site on my local development environment (MAMP Pro 5.7). I've added the bolt_auth extension for frontend permissions and authentication.

My site is broken with bolt_auth installed. I think it needs a valid configuration for mailoptions in config.yml. I don't know how to fill this out successfully:

mailoptions:
    transport: smtp
    spool: true
    host: ????
    port: ??
    username: ***@*****.com
    password: ******
    encryption: null
    auth_mode: null
    senderMail: null
    senderName: null

What should I use here for my test setup? I went to SparkPost as suggested in the comments of config.yml, but even the free account requires a valid domain with a valid website published to it. I don't want to do any of this for my test environment. I just want it to work enough for me to build and test my site. Deployment comes later.

Thanks,

Alex

You could try https://mailtrap.io/ instead of sparkpost.
