Mailer options with multiple mailers

[xelan]

When a mailer option like disable_delivery is set for an environment, it is only applied to the default mailer. For example, my config_test.yml contains

swiftmailer:
    disable_delivery:  true

However, in my opinion delivery should be disabled for all mailers when running in the test environment.

php app/console debug:swiftmailer --env=test
[swiftmailer] Current mailers
Name                     Transport Spool Delivery Single Address
mailer2                  smtp      NO    YES      
default (default mailer) smtp      YES   NO       

The delivery_address option also behaves like that, it seems to be set only for the default mailer. In the manual no such behaviour is documented.

What is the recommended way to ensure that all mailers get the same disable_delivery and delivery_address options depending on the environment?

Thank you very much!

options are always per mailer. If you use the short syntax to configure it, it applies only to the mailer named default.

If you configure multiple mailers, you need to use the multiple mailer too to disable them all:

swiftmailer:
    mailers:
        default:
            disable_delivery:  true
        default2:
            disable_delivery:  true

The short syntax is just a convenience for the case where you configure a single mailer (everything gets moved into mailers > default.

Thank you very much for your fast response! I added the suggested configuration and it is working fine 👍 However, I still think this behaviour should be mentioned in the docs. Otherwise, users don't know they need to change their config_test.yml when they add a mailer. Maybe it would help to add a short note to the documentation?

Also, the sentence "For example, by setting this in the config_dev.yml file, you can guarantee that all emails sent during development go to a single account." where delivery_address is explained is quite misleading. It's only true as long as there is just a single mailer.
