[DBTech] DragonByte Mail 5.4.0b1

Update highlights​

This version adds a new feature: SMTP Profiles. This feature allows you to save a bunch of different SMTP credentials and apply them to your Digest, Mailing Lists, and even the global email transport setup.

This can be very useful if you are experimenting with different email providers, or if you'd just like to separate your mailing lists from your global email transport.

SMTP Profiles also integrate with the "Test outbound email" page, allowing you to test your configuration before applying it anywhere.

Finally, extra protection is added to the "Delete" action, preventing deletion if the profile is in use by Digest, Mailing Lists or by the global email transport setup.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: SMTP profiles: create named SMTP configurations and select them as the email transport for mailing lists, digests and the board's email transport option
Feature: SMTP profiles can be tested from the "Test outbound email" page

This add-on has been hotfixed to address an issue affecting all front-end pages while this add-on is enabled. This issue was caused by additional security measures introduced in XenForo 2.3.13.

The latest version has been patched, and can be downloaded at no additional cost. If you are running an older version and you are unable to upgrade for whatever reason, please let me know the exact version you are running and I will apply the hotfix accordingly.

Fix: Fix an issue where the Digest's saved Email transport settings could be erased on save

Update highlights​

The Whoopsie Daisy is a special flower which only blooms when a developer makes a really basic mistake, such as hiding the settings of one of the flagship features in the "Debug Options" settings group, making them inaccessible to normal users.

This version fixes an issue preventing you from actually filling in the API credentials for the AWS integration with the "Daily Stats" feature.

A regression from v5.2.x regarding the "Inactivity reminder" setting check has also been resolved, which was causing server errors if users tried to access their account preferences.

Complete Change Log​

Fix: Move the AWS API credentials setting out of debug options and give it an actual description
Fix: Update references to the "Inactivity reminders" option

Update highlights​

This version brings significant improvements to the Amazon SES integration, as well as more fine-grained outbound email limitations.

The Daily Stats feature in XenForo will now collect additional stats from your Amazon SES account, if you have configured API credentials in a new setting.

The Outbound Mail limiter now lets you set the number of mails per X minutes/hours/days rather than just a flat X mail per hour. If you have previously configured this setting, please double-check it after upgrading to ensure it's configured correctly for you.

The Inactivity Reminders system now uses the same Criteria system as email validation, and can be configured via a new button in the settings in much the same way.

The last major notable change is the fact that Digests are now sent no earlier than 12 noon and no later than 19 server time. This is to prevent issues where people would receive the digest at midnight and then be buried under other emails received while they were asleep. It is not possible to set this per-user.

For a full list of changes, please see the below change log.

Update highlights​

This version brings improvements to the email validation feature in DragonByte Mail. You can now configure the criteria used for finding users who should have their emails validated.

By default, it only searches for users with "Valid" user state and users who are not banned. This was the old functionality, ported into the new settings UI. Furthermore, the "No empty email" and "Last validation cut-off" cannot be customised as these are too important to be changed.

Furthermore, when the forum sends an email to a specific user, that user's last validation record will be updated. This can mean a significant cost reduction if you are validating tens of thousands of users that may have been actively receiving emails already, such as watched thread notifications.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Update last validation date when an email is sent to a user
Feature: Configurable email validation criteria
Change: Implement additional checks for the Reoon email validator
