Will just disabling the add on allow me To go back to my regular email system?

You change the setting back to default, before disabling it... Just for good measure... But generally speaking, yes.

 

[tommydamic68]

There is a default option. Can i just check this?

Yes, completely uninstall or disable or choosing "Default" will revert everything back to normal.

 

[tommydamic68]

ok, thanks, i just wanted to turn it off for a bit. The only issue is the key is now gone but I think i can retrieve it from the Mandrill site.

@xfrocks, works perfectly with my board! Thanks again...

@xfrocks,

We get a lot of bounced emails, does this mean that next time we send an email to the entire site, it won't send it to those bounced users again?

If so, does that feature only work with external sites?

How do you know about the bounced emails? Which provider are you using? In theory, the add-on will skip sending email to those users.

Because xenforo sends them back to the default email. The notifications I mean.

Will it work with the default way the board sends emails or do I have to use one of those external email services?

Oh, it does not work with the default sender. If you use those, you have to edit the user yourself and mark them as "not confirmed".

Do you like mandrill the most then?

I have no preference actually. They seem to be the same to me But I do use Mandrill.

Amazing Addon and switching to Mandrill has been great, just so many nice tools.

Have you considered allowing support for this? https://mandrillapp.com/tags/

You can have the addon stick in a tag for the different emails that xF sends, like registration, and what ever else it sends emails for. Password-Resets, etc.

So it can all be tracked.

Yes, it was something I considered. But currently unclear how should I tag emails

Well from my understanding of the API, it only looks for the words, so just stick it into the template that xF sends out some how?

email phrase?

No, actually if we ultilize tags, we need to set a special field when sending the email.

Well I trust you to do it in the way that you think is best !

After setting this up for my forum, I found a Mandrill API module for Magento which uses tags. Makes it nice and easy to separate the Magento emails from the forum emails.


Not personally sure how useful it would be for the forum mail though, as it's easy enough to find the bounces...
