In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] From adding quotesYou’re quite correct then… Postman (the zend_mail library) has added the double quotes, probably because it detected an invalid character (the single quote). I’ll make the fix to remove the single quotes.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Port 587 vs 465No. Both 465 and 587 use TLS/SSL, if it’s done correctly.
Some SMTP plugins, like WP Mail Bank, secretly disable SSL to prevent users from seeing errors.

In reply to: [Design Approval System] DAS Does Not Send Sendmail through PostmanHi. I’m the author of Postman.
When I went to do a test on this and activate the […] Gmail extension for it I get this notice.
This Postman Gmail API Extension plugin is deprecated as of May 3rd, 2015. Please don’t install it. As the notice says, it is not interrupting your email in anyway.
Unfortunately based on that notice we probably won’t be trying to figure out why that is not working with DAS.
DAS is not working (with Postman) because it doesn’t use the WordPress email API, wp_mail.
I’m really surprised your host will not let you use any ports to gain access to gmail. I would definitely complain or move to a new service if that is at all possible.
That’s extremely common. GoDaddy, Hostgator, Bluehost, Dreamiest all have this behaviour.
Cheers,

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Port 587 vs 465- 25 is an official mail port, no encryption
- 465 is an unofficial mail port, with SMTPS encryption, partly because of Microsoft (of course)
- 587 is an official mail port, with STARTTLS encryption
Postman will prefer, in this order: 587, 465, 25
Spam or virus content is something completely different. The port you use won’t make a difference there.
Cheers 🙂

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] From adding quotesHmm… automatically remove any single quotes surrounding a name?
Ya, maybe..
This has come up before and as far as I can remember, it’s not Postman that adds the double quotes. It’s the mail server. You can verify in the session transcript.
Thanks!
Postman’s domain validation is sightly out of date. Please disable email address validation in the advanced settings, message tab, and try again.
You want the From to appear on the final email as Betty Boop?
This is known as Email Spoofing, and is obviously not allowed by your mail server. Your mail server is the one that adds “on behalf of..”, not Postman.
Yes, it’s possible to send an email “from Betty Boop”.. viruses and spammers do this all the time. But you may not receive that email because it might get caught in a Spam trap.
You’ll have have to live with “From Admin” or “From Admin on behalf of”.
I think what you really want is to set the Reply-To address on your email to be Betty Boop. That way when you hit the reply button, the reply is composed to Betty Boop, not you. Setting the Reply-To field is done by the program that composed the email in the first place. Consult that program’s documentation.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Test email not sendingWhatever is generating your email in WordPress is sending the text {site_url} to Postman for the From email address. Obviously that is incorrect and Postman is rejecting it before your mail server does.
You must fix whatever is generating that email. Alternately, you can tell Postman to ignore the From fields sent by other WordPress plugins in the advanced settings and only use what you’ve entered.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Contact Form 7 header issuesPostman keeps a record of the session transcript in Tools > Email Log.
If you have everything configured correctly, you will notice that Postman is sending your From address the way you expect. But it is in fact your SMTP server that ignores the modified From address. Gmail and Hotmail for example, do not allow modified From headers.
Since Postman was installed the reply email is just the plain sending address configured with Postman.
Again, you can look in the session transcript to see what the Reply-To header looks like when it leaves your system. Likely, you are not setting the Reply-To header in Contact Form 7, which is the only part of the setup that knows what the Reply-To address should be (i.e. your visitor’s email address).

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Mailgun isn't supportedYes. SMTP is the same everywhere.
Perhaps you have a firewall problem. Try running the connectivity test.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Mailgun isn't supportedDisappointed
You and me both.
I can’t send emails from Mailgun. it doesn’t support 🙁
Please re-read their documentation carefully. SMTP is certainly supported.
https://documentation.mailgun.com/quickstart-sending.html#send-with-smtp-or-api
The file is corrupted. I will re-rate the plugin when it’s fixed.
I don’t even know what this means.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Conflict with Contact Form 7?Well…
mainstreammediaboycott.comis not a Google Apps account — I’m pretty sure Google will not deliver non-Google email.;; ANSWER SECTION: mainstreammediaboycott.com. 3599 IN MX 30 mx30.mailspamprotection.com. mainstreammediaboycott.com. 3599 IN MX 10 mx10.mailspamprotection.com. mainstreammediaboycott.com. 3599 IN MX 20 mx20.mailspamprotection.com. ;; ANSWER SECTION: mainstreammediaboycott.com. 14399 IN TXT "v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:37.60.240.191 ~all"AFAIK, this email is a Seiteground account… so you should be sending mail via the Seiteground SMTP server.
SIteground doesn’t seem to publish their configuration online, but based on this article, I’m going to guess that you should be connecting to
mail.mainstreammediaboycott.com, with authentication, without security.
