de.systopia.mailingtools

Screenshot

Provides Tools to support Massmailings in CiviCRM. Options are:

  • Add Additional Header to all Mails sent by CiviCRM
  • Introduce a retention Policy (in days) for the Bounce Mailing Mailbox. Can be specified for ignored and processed Folders.
  • Add additional Patterns for Bounce handling. Currently only adds static, pre-configured files (SMTP Error Codes, some German away patterns)
  • Periodically verify Emails for a valid MX record via API command (and subsequently Cron job if needed/wanted)

The extension is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

Requirements

  • PHP v5.5+ (better 5.6+)
    • PHP 7.0 for Email MX-Verification
    • composer voku/email-check
  • CiviCRM 4.7

Installation (CLI, Git)

cv en mailingtools
cd resources/lib

Usage

After installation a settings page exists in civicrm/admin/setting/mailingtools. civicrm/menu/rebuild should be manually triggered after install, then it is also available in the administrate console (civicrm/admin).

A Cron Job is added (Check Bounce Mailstore) with 'always' frequency, but disabled. If a retention value on the settings page is set, this will trigger the API command and delete all Mails in CiviMail/(ignored|processed) older than the configured value in days. The API Command is Mailingtools.mailretention - no parameters.

Known Issues

  • This is an alpha Version, testing is needed!
  • Careful with the pattern, especially in large email environment. Also Emails will be DELETED if a retention is added.
  • Currently the login for the Bounce Mailbox is taken from settings, but might fail sometimes. I am considering to add an additional setting dialogue to manually specify login parameters.
  • Important: For the API Command Mailingtools.emailsync PHP7.0 is needed, and I would advise to patch voku/emailChecker (isdnserror) to only check for valid MX record, see issue here.
