PHP creation Member Space Maildev does not receive anything
In any case, I don't recommend using mail() anyway. It's a low level function, a PITA to work with and you need to understand some infrastructure stuff to make it reliable. A simple alternative is https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.

How to write an email template that automatically fills in the blanks?
Find an email library for the language you are using. For PHP I used this. Check the examples directory and make them work. If you are using another language, you'll definitely find an email library.
I do it with PHP using PHPMailer. I create my own templates with all the fill-in-the-blanks parts.

How to debug mail()? It only returns 1, 0, or null. I'm not sure if gmail is blocking it either.
That is utterly simple, and can be readily converted for usage with cURL through PHP without loading any external libraries. No symfony/mailer. No PHPMailer/PHPMailer. Nothing.

Anyone know a way to archive slack channels to Gmail? I use Slack for work, which we pay for, but I have a little private one just for some friends I grew up with. I’m looking for a way to just archive all of that communication to a gmail account just for time capsule purposes.
You would then need to setup a function to loop over to use json objects and “email them” you could actually use the same inbox(email address) you are storing the data in to send the data to that mailbox. Using SMTP you could use a lib like https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer to accomplish that piece.

Configuring PHP to Send Emails Using Mail( )
Frankly, it is better to give up upon sending mails from your own server altogether. Instad of plain mail() just go for PHPMailer or similar and send mails via external, well established provider.
Use PHPMailer with SMTP. Saves you a lot of trouble with mails getting caught in spam with using mail()
