Try to send a sample of an email and receive a notice that the Marketo send test failed.
There are two token-related reasons that Send Sample may fail:
You may have an invalid value for a token in your email. If there is an incorrect token value, the send sample will not work.
Example: If you have the token for first name written like this {{lead.FirstName:default=Hello}}, when you try to approve the email Marketo will let you know that the token value is incorrect. The correct token value is {{lead.First Name:default=Hello}}. For this example if you change the token value to {{lead.First Name:default=Hello}}, Marketo will allow you to approve the email and it will allow you to do a send sample.
You may have a token in the From or Reply-To line that is not populating with an email address
Example: If you have a token in the Reply-To like this one, {{lead.Email Address:default=edit me}}, then the Send Sample using the default will have "edit me" in the Reply-To, which is not an email address. Marketo cannot send an email without a Reply-To email address, so the Send Sample will fail.
If any of the above does not apply, run the following tests and provide the information to Marketo Support
Clone the email in question and test to send as a sample
Create a new email and test to send as a sample
Send the email via a live campaign or a single flow step to a test lead

I'm using a certain SendGrid template for several different projects and am trying to find a way to stop emails from going out in some conditions, through SendGrid.
For example, lets say I'm passing SendGrid some parameters like:
{id, name, amount, date}
I want to stop that email from going out when i'm passing a certain id.
I know that I can change the email template i'm sending with conditionals using handlebars:
From here
But Can I actually stop the mail if some condition happens?
In my case, every time I send the id = 5
You can control the body of the email using Handlebar templating, but by that point, you have already told SendGrid to send email with the data you provided. You cannot stop the email from being sent from within Handlebars.
If you're using code to tell SendGrid to send these emails, you could check in your code if the id equals 5, and if so, do not send an email.
If you're using Single Sends to send an email to SendGrid Contacts, you could to store this id field as a custom field, and create a segment or update your existing segment to filter out the contact with that id.
If i send an invalid emailaddress via SMTP to gmail, after mailFrom and rcptTo. If rcptTo address is invalid, gmail sends 550 User not found. But yahoo is sending user not found only after DATA part is send. Is there any way to find email validity before DATA part
Validating user after rcpto send is not mandatory. It is up to developers choice whether to validate user before DATA part or after. Please refer to this https://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/1123/92.htm
If you want to validate user before DATA, you can use third party email validators and clean your contact list and then send for only validate users
I have a form on my portfolio that allows a user fill in a form with a question they have and send that to me by email.
When i try to use sendgrid it only allows me as a verified user to send emails from my own email address. but i want the 'from' field to be dynamically filled in by that user and then sent to me.
note: I also tried 'emailjs' but that works fine in development but fails in production.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or any other platforms i can use for that preferabally free since it is a hobby project.
Thanks

You do need to use a verified email address to send emails from SendGrid, this is to stop people using a form like you describe to spoof anyone's email address.
A better idea is to send emails created in your form from a verified email address and set the reply-to address as the submitted email. That way you can send with SendGrid and then when you reply in your email client it will return to the person that submitted the form.
I added more detail and example code (in Python) in this answer.
In my app I've a button that allows users to send me an e-mail.
When users send me an e-mail I want to send to their a confirm e-mail.
But, from swift code, how can I get their email address in order to send to their the confirm mail?
Thank you
You will not be able to use Swift to grab a user's email address this way. This is intentional, to keep a user's information secure.
I would recommended either using an email service that will automatically respond to emails received, or allowing users to enter their email address elsewhere in the app.
When users receive a notification email about a new private message on Facebook, they can reply to the email and have their response automatically added to the conversation on the site.
How can I build a cross platform system like that? I'm building a group chat system.
This is obviously way over-simplified, but here we go:
The way Facebook's emails work is by using a string that's unique to the receiver in the reply-to address:
<m+50edqb50000003jtdj389k6xib6hofj6t41q1c45sdt92qc#reply.facebook.com>
So when Facebook receive an email into reply.facebook.com, they (presumably) parse the string after the plus sign, decide which user/conversation it's relevant to, and add the text of the email into that conversation.
One option:
Send every notification email with a unique reply-to address, then receive replies with a customized SMTP server that will pair responses with the originating message object in your DB.
Since you are using django (according to your tags) I would recommend looking at the Lamson python SMTP server. It can be programmed to correctly attribute each message. Using Lamson with Django is documented.
