joe_g Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hello, I suppose the answer is no, but I thought I'd check: Is there a decent processwire-friendly mail service for occasional transactional email (like, once a week)? Mailgun only allows to send emails to pre-validated addresses unless you pay 35 a month. The other services that has a WireMail module seemed similar, from what I can see? thanks, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you don't send hundreds of mails a week you could just send it from your server, or setup a very own mail account on your hosting and send mails - with WireMailSMTP of course. With WireMailSMTP you could use a lot of services via SMTP - even Mailgun. Some others would be Mailjet, Sendinblue, Sendgrid and some others. Some are easier to configure than others. I personally use Mailjet's free tier on small or personal projects. The limits are totally fine with 6,000 emails/month or 200 emails per day. In client projects I most often stay with Mailjet but on a paid plan starting at around 15 EUR/month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 https://www.mailersend.com/ is also a good option and you can have a look at https://github.com/baumrock/RockMailerSend (no docs at the moment and not officially released yet) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWaddict Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 You can use your free Gmail account with the free module WireMailSmtp by @horst First make sure you have enabled 2-Step Verification on your Google account. Then create an App password (you gonna need it for WireMailSmtp). Check the screenshot below: Next on WireMailSmtp settings make sure to add the following: Local Hostname: yourdomain.comSMTP Hostname: smtp.gmail.comSMTP Port: 587SMTP User: youremail@gmail.comSMTP Password: the app password you created on Google account (NOT your Google password)Use START-TLS: CheckedSelect a crypto method for TLS: STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENTSender Email Address: youremail@gmail.comSender Name: Your Name I tested the above few months ago and worked fine with a free Gmail account, then I bought Google Workspace so I can use my custom domain instead of @gmail.com. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look into Aliases in Google Mail - they should do the trick as well. There is a nice guide about it over on ImprovMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a nice guide about it over on ImprovMX. Yes I know about the aliases but I don't prefer that method because: If your recipient uses Outlook or another mail service, they might see something like, "From yourname@gmail.com on behalf of othername@otherdomain.com." Your recipients might also see your original @gmail.com address if you: Set up an out of office reply Create a filter with automated response Have a full mailbox, and your recipient gets notified Info taken from the Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Now that you say that I can remember this issue. Especially when sending mails. Absolute valid point! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MailerSend's free tier does seem to be very good. Thanks for sharing your module too, however since it does not extend WireMail, RockMailerSend can only be used for custom solutions. There's no way to send all transactional emails from Processwire via MailerSend using your solution, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I don't think so. I've added an example how to send emails to the readme. The only thing you need is a template id. The template must be created at mailersend - but the benefit is that the client can do that and you don't have to develop something on your own. Not sure if it's possible to add attachments to mails though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for something to be used with ProMailer the client already uses to email users based on criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
