Hello,
I would to like to use a specific SMTP connection for sending out the newsletter, but the normal mails, which WP sends should use another.
Is there a way (also with functions) to be able to choose a specific smtp connection for send out the Newsletter instead of always using the default one?

Hi @sebastianalbert , as of now, this is not possible in a WordPress environment. Normally, having more than one SMTP creates a conflict.

And right now, Mail Mint is a self-hosted email marketing automation tool and it will use the default SMTP you have set up on your site.

Thanks.

Hi @cssultan,
Thanks for your answer.
I don’t really understand why it should not be possible within WP.
With thenewsletterplugin you can setup the newsletter to use own delivery way (including smtp) within the plugin.
With FluentCRM you can use FluentSMTP to add multiple delivery accounts and then later choose, which address you want to send from in the settings of FluentCRM.

I think it is important to be able to use different addresses for sending out stuff. I cannot use the newsletter@domain.tld for sending also woo-commerce purchases etc.

Additionally GDPR comes into play here too. If I want to send the newsletter via Amazon SES or any non EU based sending services I need explicit consent of the user (which can be acquired during newsletter sign-up).
But I can’t use then the same non EU based sending service to send out PW-resets / Purchase Notices, because I did not ask for explicit consent to transfer the user’s personal information to a third party service outside the EU/ERW.

Mailmint should stay a self-hosted solution, that is the strength and also helping a lot with GDPR compliance. It just needs the option to add an SMTP connection / Gateway for Sending Services within the plugin settings and not default back to WP without any options to specify.
