troymccas Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Anyone using anything like sendgrid or postmarkapp.com to improve their deliver ability of emails from whmcs? If so, have you found it to be useful/successful? SendGrid is awesome. I have not used them with cPanel but have used them for other projects. Great service, great customer support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhbkweb Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi, Im also veru interested in finding a transaction email service that can integrate with WHMCS to send out system emails and improve deliverability and also to have the ability to track the messages sent (boucnes, etc...). Postmarkapp or mailchimp new transactional service: mandrill.com would be great. Does any one if a simple smtp integration will work of if we have to build a plugin to have it work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclarke Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I don't see any reason why using the SMTP service with these providers will not work. The only issue you may face is if you ever send attachments to your clients, most of these services will strip out attachments depending on the file type but most will allow pdf and text files but not zip files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Decided to try mandrillapp.com after reading this thread, and it's working great with WHMCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhbkweb Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi all, To the users that are using Postmarkapp or mandrillapp, do you simply put the smtp settings on WHMCS and its "ready to work" or does it need any more customization? Also regarding attachments, does it work? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclarke Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'ved tested this with mandrill and it just works, all you need to do is entry the smtp details into your WHMCS, it is also recommend that you setup DKIM and SPF according to their instructions. Regarding attachments, it depends on the file type: http://help.mandrill.com/entries/21763806-does-mandrill-support-attachments Mandrill is great because they give you 12,000 emails a month for no cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jclarke Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The smtp username is your login username for mandrill, as far as the from address goes, I would use your support email address so if a customer has a question they can just replay to the email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubka3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've found Rackspace to be good. It also does incoming, so you can off load the mail services to their cluster. Therefore, you never loose any emails! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a simple way you are saying that you are using Rackspace Email to host your emails and you use WHMCS to connect using SMTP to one of your Rackspace email accounts?

WHMCS JamesX Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I uses AWS SES for all outgoing e-mail from my in-house servers (i.e. ones not hosting clients) and Google Apps for incoming which is directly piped into WHMCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabil Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 On the one hand you're right as sendgrid is part of rackspace now but on the other hand it is not like connecting directly to rackspace with a regular account as sendgrid is designed for mass email, includes deliverabilty and read reports and helps ensure you don't end up on spam lists. Yup, we use sendgrid, have done for years, like them very much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
