If you're interested, I can tell you more about it. Xencafe.com has a package with one of the usual hosting providers. Some time ago, they changed their mail system, and since then, no emails have been sent out, which I didn't notice because there's not much activity on the site.
Thanks to your tip, I looked into it. For the integrated mail system to work, I would need to configure DKIM or something similar with the host, but their management interface doesn't allow it. So, I'm waiting for feedback from support.
I immediately tried the SMTP settings, but as usual, it didn't work for me. In version 2.3, there's only one setting option left. You can choose it or not. Maybe I missed it, maybe it's not there - but the solution is to not check the box if you want to access port 587. I must have always done this wrong and therefore had to use the integrated mail system.
After setting it up, I was able to send myself a test email. I should have answered various requests with "Send Password." Otherwise, you should now be able to request your confirmation email.
In parallel, I looked at almost all mail add-ons yesterday; but maybe I missed what I'm looking for. I would like a list showing something like:
Date/Time | Username | Email Address | Action | Successful?=> Comment
Something like that, so you could look in and see what happened, where, and when, or if something didn't happen. For now, I'm using error messages, and there was something about monitoring bouncing?
Otherwise, I'm currently restructuring with 2.3, and not everything is working as it should. For example, you will need to enter a license to upgrade from a user to a webmaster.
There will also be new upgrades displayed depending on the user group. Currently, access costs between 5000 and 30,000 euros; this is to prevent anyone from ordering before I'm done. No need to ask if I sell Gold and Platinum.
The add-on you're probably looking for only took me a day to develop and costs you nothing. I'm sorry you have to wait for it. Alternatively, you can find other add-ons of this type in the directory, most of them are free, and at least one is also available for 2.3.
I still need to test the add-on for 2.2 or create another one if it requires a different regex. The JavaScript should run regardless. Unfortunately, no one has answered me yet on whether and how to use different regex for XF 2.2 and 2.3 in a template modification.
Another issue now is that you apparently need an add-on management system that can offer multiple versions. I've seen this with XON and others, but I actually want less overhead and would also like to eliminate the RM if I can manage my add-ons differently. We'll see.
You didn't want to know all this detail, but you asked, and such a summary helps me think about whether I've done everything or forgotten something and to make a list of pending tasks.
