MailHog was not intercepting e-mail on Windows again.
To work around this issue, open your site’s conf/php/php.ini.hbs file:
CHANGE (line 30)
sendmail_path = “’{{mail.mailhogPath}}’ sendmail --smtp-addr={{mail.mailhogSmtpAddr}} mailhog@flywheel.local”
TO
sendmail_path = ‘"{{mail.mailhogPath}}" sendmail --smtp-addr={{mail.mailhogSmtpAddr}} mailhog@flywheel.local’
RESTART SITE
Hope this helps someone else.

Blockquote
Maybe you simply copied and pasted the supplied code into the file?
For the provided solution, try manually inserting/replacing the quotes ( " ) ( ’ )
Hope this helps.
Still not working. Thanks

Hey @ignasitort –
I’m having trouble recreating this on my Windows 10 test machine using Local 5.7.4. The way that I’m testing is creating a new, plain WordPress site and then trying to reset my user password using the “forgot password” screen of the WordPress admin.
When you are testing on the latest version of Local are you creating a new site and then trying to send those emails?
If you have an existing site, can you try exporting it and re-importing it to a new site in Local?
One thing to verify – is this only happening with Contact Form 7? Is Mailhog able to capture the password reset emails from WordPress?
Well, I checked a second Test website in Local and Mailhog works recovering emails!
So it seems its an issue related to this environment only.
I will next try to export and Import the Development website I am trying to test. See if it works.
