Description

Hello,

Would it be all possible to add an email test button to the mail settings page. This would greatly improve efficiency, and give administrators a way to quickly test their settings in mail. Rather than creating a forum post, and going to the cron page manually.

Cheers,

Brent.

I second the vote. While you can use the Messages module to send messages to a test user (that hasn't logged on within 10 minutes), which will then send email notifications of your message, it's still a pain not having access to a script to just send a mail.

Especially when debugging SMTP issues from a linux webserver to a Windows Exchange/SMTP mailserver... :-\
