# /sendmail/test

Sends a test email to a single `to` address to verify the mail configuration. Each send writes an `EMAIL_SENT` or `EMAIL_SENT_FAILED` event. Requires `system.sendmail` (or `system.root`).

Differs from easydb 5: the dedicated `system.sendmail` right grants this operation. In easydb 5 the equivalent `POST /api/v1/settings/sendmail` required "an authenticated session with the `system.root` privilege".

### `POST /system/sendmail/test` — This endpoint sends a test email to one mail address. The user needs the `system.sendmail` or `system.root` system right. After sending an email `EMAIL_SENT` or `EMAIL_SENT_FAILED` event is written.
