Re: TXP install user account emails do not arrive
@bloke Okay, here’s interesting info from my server support, “Use enhanced email features” is required to be used, when outgoing spam protection is strict:
__”…the option “Use enhanced mail features?” is currently set to No. This seems root cause of the issue. When this is disabled, Textpattern relies on the server’s default PHP mail function rather than an authenticated connection. This often causes the script to dynamically pull the triggering user’s details … into the headers, creating that “From” vs. “Envelope” mismatch that MailChannels (comment: the outgoing spam protection) is blocking.
Please toggle that setting to Yes. Once enabled, you will see new fields appear for SMTP Host, Username, and Password. Please input the specific credentials for the [TXP sender] account there. This will force the CMS to authenticate strictly as the no-reply user, ensuring the headers remain consistent and allowing the emails to pass through our filters.”__
The insight to default PHP mail function is notable and could indicate certain issues i had before with contact forms being used to send out spam – if circumventing PHP mail will resolve the 4.90 beta2 issues will be seen here in a little while. I’ll further report then.
Additionally to be noted for users on shared hosts with different domains and subdomains using TXP:
Using just one catch-all email account for TXP installs is permittable and even to be preferred, says my support. This is GOOD, as it minimizes maintenance drastically after updating to a 4.9 beta2 or later.
I expect some rounds of servicing beforehand, though.
