my SMTP-server has a limited amount of emails that it can send per day. Is there a way to find out if an email was actually sent or not?

You could try sending the emails via PostMark
It's easy to integrate with WireMail SMTP, credits are cheap and it'll give you a dashboard on amounts of emails sent/bounced etc

thanks but no other service should be used. I just want to know if it's technically possible to know if an email was actually sent. I thought ->getResult() or the like would return an object of some sort.

Taken from

getResult () - returns a dump (array) with all recipients (to, cc, bcc) and settings you have selected with the message, the message subject and body, and lists of successfull addresses and failed addresses,

So you can check with the 'recipientsFailed' entry of the array if anything went wrong.

$result = $mail->getResult();
if(count($result['recipientsSuccess']) {
// logic for successful mails
}
if(count($result['recipientsFailed']) {
// logic for failed mails
}

Or you can use return value of ->send() which returns the count of successfully sent mails or 0 on fail:

$numberSentMails = $mail->send();

Log these numbers somewhere and add some logic to your send script that counts how many mails have been sent on the current day, adds them to a mail queue or whatever you need.

@horstwould be awesome if you could add a doc block to https://github.com/horst-n/WireMailSmtp/blob/bc2432096704b3ffeab8176d558e211a544f9837/WireMailSmtp.module#L808 so we get some intellisense of what the array actually looks like.

thanks @gebeer that sounds promising, will give this a try.

Follow-up question: Is there a way to switch the email sender method by API? (I very much guess so) Once the quota is reached, I’d like to try sending over the web server. So far couldn’t accomplish that.

this works like a charm! thanks a lot @gebeer

Hi, after years of successfully using the WireMailSmtp module (thank you Horst!), today I've installed it in a new website and get the following error on send (or test settings):

syntax error, unexpected fully qualified name "\getmessage" (line 3409 in site/modules/WireMailSmtp/smtp_classes/email_message.php) 

This is the line 3409

Function GetMessage(&$message)

The PHP version is 8.0

Can anyone help?

Thank you, regards
Sebastian

After upgrading to PHP 8.1 I get this message when sending mail:

Deprecated: Function strftime() is deprecated in /Users/XXX/Sites/processwire-ui3/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/WireMailSmtp/smtp_classes/email_message.php on line 675

This is no surprise - strftime() needs to be replaced in the future. It's still working fine at the moment, though. 

See email_message.php, Line 675:

return($this->FormatHeader("Message-ID", "<".strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S", $seconds).substr($micros,1,5).".".preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z]/', '-', $local)."@".preg_replace('/[^.A-Za-z_-]/', '', $host).">"));

I am afraid to fix this line by myself... it looks complicated ?

[monollonom]

I just came across this issue and the solution is pretty simple: replace strftime() with

date("YmdHMS", $seconds)

I don't really understand the use of strftime() here since there's no use of language-dependent strings...

@horst Could you have a look at this or would you rather accept a PR?

These files are third party classes from Manuel Lemos. I first thought to wait until he has updated his files, but a PR would be pretty fine!! ??
(There are already some parts in this third party classes, that we have enhanced and or fixed on our self here.)
Thanks @monollonom!

Done!

Hey, today I saw this one in the github repo.
A pull request named "Enforce sender in emails":

-----------------

@eerojaaskelainen 

Greetings!

My 2 cents: At least Outlook 365 accounts require that address in From-field must match with username. I've added a checkbox in config to override From-address to be the same as sender defined in configuration.

Regards
Eero J.

-----------------

And he commited a PR there for. I have tested it and it works as expected, so I will merge this soon. Only thing I have to add is a) a small check with isset() for the new introduced $data['force_sender'], because otherwise PHP gives a warning about a not defined array key, when first time the config module is openend after the update to that version. And b), I have to update the module version and the change.log. ?

So, many thanks to Eero! ??

Can someone explain to me what this means? In case of best-practice.

Usually for the sender address I use something like noreply@mydomain.com but this address does not send the mail actually. In fact I have a separate address like mailer@mydomain.com (as SMTP user in the module settings) which sends out the mails from the forms on a website.

As far as I understand those addresses have to match in some cases?

I just upgraded from 0.60 to 0.63, and now I’m getting the following error:

    [0]      string(126) "authenticated mechanism password may not be used: it was not requested any of the authentication mechanisms that are supported"
  }

}

And this is what my provider lists as the settings it likes

Outgoing server: mailout.one.com
Port and encryption:
- 587 with STARTTLS (recommended)
- 465 with TLS
- 25 with STARTTLS or none

I have it set up using 587, START-TLS and STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENT

Any ideas? Fixed – see below.

Fixed the issue.

[Claus]

Allow me to answer myself. Very sneakily the hidden `Advanced SMTP` had the `Authentication Mechanism` set to `password`. Removing this solved the issue.

@horst - The latest ProcessWire DEV 3.0.220 seams to break the WireMailSmtp module (namespace fatal errors) after a module recompiling.

Class "ProcessWire\WireMailSmtp" not found

I cannot reach the settings any more and probably it does also not send out mails.

Isn't it a good idea to drop compatibility to ancient ProcessWire 2 versions and add the ProcessWire namespace in your code, so it does not compile?

Had same problem recently.

P.S. @horst, it is page 17 of WireMailSmtp support thread. Maybe it is time to split it in Module-Specific Support section?

[ceberlin]

@horst is this still supported?

[zoeck]

@ceberlin "Updated 2023/03/09" -> The module has just received an update ? 

Or is this related to the problems with the current dev version?

[ceberlin]

@zoeck yes that is possible. ProcessWire was fiddling with the modules recently. - I drop a note in PW "issues".

[kkalgidim]

WireMailSMTP module installed and when i test it from setting it works perfectly.

Can you give me a working simple code with html form. For Example:  Name, subject, Message 

i will use it on home page. I need an example code with html. 

[horst]

Hey, I will try to test it with PW 3.0.220 + and make a PW 3.x namespace version of it, as I think, every PW 2.x installation that is using it, does not need more new WireMail-SMTP updates from now on.
(As some or one of you suggested!) I try to do it this week!

In the first page of this thread are working examples:

Usage Examples

The simplest way to use it:

$numSent = wireMail($to, $from, $subject, $textBody);

$numSent = wireMail($to, '', $subject, $textBody); // or with a default sender emailaddress on config page 

This will send a plain text message to each recipient.
 
You may also use the object oriented style:

$mail = wireMail(); // calling an empty wireMail() returns a wireMail object

$mail->to($toEmail, $toName);
$mail->from = $yourEmailaddress; // if you don't have set a default sender in config
                                 // or if you want to override that
$mail->subject($subject);
$mail->body($textBody);

$numSent = $mail->send();

Or chained, like everywhere in ProcessWire:

$mail = wireMail();
$numSent = $mail->to($toEmail)->subject($subject)->body($textBody)->send(); 

Additionaly to the basics there are more options available with WireMailSmtp. The main difference compared to the WireMail BaseClass is the sendSingle option. With it you can set only one To-Recipient but additional CC-Recipients.

$mail = wireMail(); 

$mail->sendSingle(true)->to($toEmail, $toName)->cc(array('person1@example.com', 'person2@example.com', 'person3@example.com')); 

$numSent = $mail->subject($subject)->body($textBody)->send(); 

The same as function call with options array:

$options = array(
    'sendSingle' => true,
    'cc' => array('person1@example.com', 'person2@example.com', 'person3@example.com')
    );

$numSent = wireMail($to, '', $subject, $textBody, $options); 

There are methods to your disposal to check if you have the right WireMail-Class and if the SMTP-settings are working:

$mail = wireMail(); 

if($mail->className != 'WireMailSmtp') {
    // Uups, wrong WireMail-Class: do something to inform the user and quit
    echo "<p>Couldn't get the right WireMail-Module (WireMailSmtp). found: {$mail->className}</p>";
    return;
}

if(!$mail->testConnection()) {
    // Connection not working:
    echo "<p>Couldn't connect to the SMTP server. Please check the {$mail->className} modules config settings!</p>";
    return;
}

Hi Horst, is there anything in the module that would trim a recipient's TLD? I'm finding a recipient with a .solutions domain is getting their addresses trimmed to user@domain.soluti when sending via Postmark but I didn't have this issue on an earlier version of the module... not that I can remember anyway ?
