multiple smtp servers

hello,

is it possible in mojoportal to send all newsletters to one server lets call it server A
and send all the other emails to server B?

because we have one bulk server mail server ( server A ) and a normal mail server ( server B )

 

King regards,
Laurence Mommers

Re: multiple smtp servers

It isn't currently possible but I will add a to do item in our project tracker for it, I'm having troubles with my newsletter as well and need to find an alternative way to send it. Sending bulk email is a challenge, it requires a mail server with a good reputation established or a lot of the mail gets flagged as spam especially if you send too many too fast to certain popular domains.

Best,

Joe

Re: multiple smtp servers

fyi, today I implemented config options to allow using a different smtp server for newsletter and/or forum notifications. This is in the source code repository now so it will be in the next release of mojoPortal, you will be able to use these new settings:

<add key="Newsletter:SmtpServer" value="" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpServerPort" value="25" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpUser" value="" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpUserPassword" value="" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpRequiresAuthentication" value="true" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpUseSsl" value="false" />
  <add key="Newsletter:SmtpPreferredEncoding" value="" />

  <add key="Forum:SmtpServer" value="" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpServerPort" value="25" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpUser" value="" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpUserPassword" value="" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpRequiresAuthentication" value="true" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpUseSsl" value="false" />
  <add key="Forum:SmtpPreferredEncoding" value="" />

I've actually just updated this site with a build of the latest code and I've configured it to use Elastic Email for the Forums and the Newsletter on this site. It looks like a good service and I've heard good things about it from others, I guess I'll find out how well it works when I send the newsletter later this month. So if you get the notification for this forum post, it should come from Elastic Mail.

Best,

Joe

Re: multiple smtp servers

fyi, I patched a couple of bugs in the 2.3.6.7 release, and as a side benefit this new functionality is also in there now.

If you already upgraded to 2.3.6.7, the only files that have changed since the initial release are:

mojoPortal.Web.dll
mojoPortal.Features.UI.dll
mojoPortal.Net.dll
/ContactForm/MessageListDialog.aspx
/ClientScript/jqmojo/jquery.layout.min.js

Best,

Joe
