How can I set custom email address to be used in "From:" section of all emails, which a sended by django-allauth to users?
By default, users receives emails from webmaster#name_of_my_ubuntu_server - it looks ugly. I want to use something like info#website.com.
Add the following line to your settings.py:
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "info#website.com"

I just created a Contact Us form using Flask. The code seems to work correclty as explained in many tutorials like this one: link.
The reason why it all works it is because at the beginning of the app file I need to insert the username and password of the person who is sending the mail (in this case it's me) through the form:
mail = Mail()
app.config["MAIL_SERVER"] = "smtp.gmail.com"
app.config["MAIL_PORT"] = 465
app.config["MAIL_USE_SSL"] = True
app.config["MAIL_USERNAME"] = 'my_personal_email0#gmail.com'
app.config["MAIL_PASSWORD"] = 'my_personal_password'
mail.init_app(app)
However once my website will be hosted online in some server, whoever wants to contact me trhough the form will just have the option to insert his email in the form and of course no password. Here it is what it looks like:
Would you be able to explain how this situation is handle once I host the website in some server? Is there something wrong with my logic?
You can do 2 things here
You need to store the details in the database and make an admin panel to view the details from the database
Create a fake Gmail and let that Gmail send you the users name, email subject, and message
I personally prefer the 1st option
is it possible to print transaction email body before email send? I just want to see how to display layout after display value in transactional email.
All Magento emails are send through this method: Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template::send().
Here is how I usually check my e-mail templates. In the method mentioned above, right after these lines:
if($this->isPlain()) {
$mail->setBodyText($text);
} else {
$mail->setBodyHTML($text);
}
I add this:
echo $text;exit;
instead of sending an e-mail it just prints it in the browser.
Don't forget to remove this line after you're done testing.
If you want to use the this in a live environment and save all the send e-mails you will have to do a more elaborate thing, live overriding the class, and not stopping the script at all, but you can do all this in the same place.
I have used amazon SES service for email campaigning. PHP Class that I am using can be found at http://www.orderingdisorder.com/aws/ses/.
I want to place a link in html mail that will be used to unsubscribe that user from list. I am sending mail to a list of users however, I want link to be unique for each. Link should appear as
http://www.mydomain.com/mail_unsub.php?userid=mymails#gmail.com&key=kjhgporhfs
Is there any function in SES that I can use directly??
suggestions please
You could place a special tag like #unsub# at the footer. When you loop through the mail list, you need to replace unsub tag with the current user email ( add the http://mydomain.com too of course)
When user click on that link, you need to remove them from you list. Or mark it as unsubscribe. It should be done inside mail_unsubscribe.php
I am using the latest Joomla build for my website.
Allso we use a DNS record for having the mail delivered to our own server instead of the server on which the website is hosted.
I have used several contact form components, but every sent mail goes to my SPAM folder.
After searching hours on the web (and getting linked to this site frequently) i decided to make a new post.
It does not matter if i use the standard joomla forms, or any component.
Whenever a user fills in a form on my website, the email gets sent. The user receives a copy of its message, and i receive the message of the user. However, this message gets thrown in the spam folder, as phishing.
The sender of the mail always is: username#nameserver.i3d.net; namens; websitename
What do i have to change/enable/disable for this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick.
(Sorry, I'm new to Joomla, but it uses PHP, so this may apply. Also this answer got a little long...)
It might be an issue with the email headers. A lot of email clients will automatically spam-box all mail where the address in the From: header doesn't match the envelope sender. As an analogy, you might not trust a snail-mail letter signed "Your Rich Uncle", mailed in an envelope with a Nigerian return address. Also if your envelope sender has a different domain than the one the email is actually sent from, that's another quick ticket to the junk bin. For more info about Gmail's message blocking policies (and general good practices), you can try this help page.
Here's some basic PHP email-sending code:
$to = $userEmailAddress;
$subj = $emailSubject;
$mesg = $emailMessage;
$headers = implode("\r\n",array(
"MIME-Version: 1.0"
,"Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"
,"From: WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME <WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM>" // *** 'From:' header
));
$from = "-fWEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM"; // *** envelope sender
if(!mail($to, $subj, $text, $headers, $from)){
//Some error handling...
}
On the first line I commented, you'll want to replace WEB_ADMIN_NICE_NAME with the name you want the email recipient to see (e.g. "Bill Gates"), and on both lines, replace WEB_ADMIN#YOURSERVER.COM with the actual return address (e.g. "da_boss#microsoft.com"). Note: whatever address you choose for the return address is where users' replies will be sent.
To reiterate, make sure both lines have the same return address (though the nice name can be anything you like), and make sure that the actual server sending the mail is in fact located at YOURSERVER.COM.
Lastly, I'm not sure where Joomla does its mailing, but if you're totally lost, you can try grepping with -lr for 'mail[[:space:]]*('.
there are several reasons that could make your email look suspicious to spam filters; to find out which head on to:
http://www.mail-tester.com
grab the email address and send an email from your website to it.
Then go back to the page and it will tell you what's wrong.
btw I'm struggling with the same issue,my problem being that on Joomla 2.5.9 apparently when you send html emails, a text-only copy is not added to the message, which is considered "spammish behaviour"
The problem is the i3d.net email address. My personal experience is that their network (31.204.154.0 - 31.204.155.255) is a significant source of spam and they do not action abuse reports. I suggest changing your hosting company.
How do you send the content of a website form to an email address without disclosing the email address to the user.
Thanks!
PS: If at all possible, I would like this to be in HTML JavaScript Ok, anything I guess.
Not possible. You can however put a "fake" from header in the mail. You'll only risk it to end up in the junk folder.
HTML doesn't provide any functionality to send mails. You'll really need to do this in the server side. How exactly to do this depends on the server side programming language in question. In PHP for example, you have the mail() function. In Java you have the JavaMail API. And so on.
Regardless of the language used, you'll need a SMTP server as well. It's the one responsible for actually sending the mail. You can use the one from your ISP or a public email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, etc), but you'll be forced to use your account name in the from header. You can also register a domain with a mailbox and just register something like noreply#example.com and use this to send mails from.
Update: JavaScript can't send mails as well. Like HTML it's a client side language. You'll need to do it with a server side language. All JavaScript can do is to dump the entire page content back to the server side. jQuery may be useful in this:
$.post('/your-server-side-script-url', { body: $('body').html(); });
with (PHP targeted example)
$to = 'to#example.com';
$subject = 'Page contents';
$body = $_POST['body']
$headers = prepare_mail_headers();
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
Update 2: if you actually want to hide the to header in the mail, then you'll need to use the bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) instead. This way the recipient addres(ses) will be undisclosed. Only the from, to, cc stays visible.
If you mean doing so on a client side, using mailto: link - you can not.
If you mean any way, yes - you submit the form contents back to your server, and have your back end script send the email.
You can do the form in HTML, but the posting will need to be done in a script. Even if you don't expose the email address, the script can be used to spam that email address. This is why you see captcha being used in such cases.
There are scripts available for most languages. Check to make sure their are no known security problems for the scripts. The original Matt's script in perl had problems, and the Perl community created a more secure version.
