EXT:powermail_cleaner

What does it do?

EXT:powermail_cleaner adds some features to EXT:powermail to improve GDPR compliance and handling of sent emails.

The features are:

• add texts for GDPR purposes to send emails
• set a date for deletion to emails (based on a fixed date or a period after sending)
• delete emails based on the saved date via a command / scheduler task
• inform receivers about upcoming deletions of mails

Version Matrix

Installation

The extension can be installed via composer.

composer req in2code/powermail_cleaner 

If you want to use the extension in a legacy installation of TYPO3, you must download the code from the github repo and provide it locally. A distribution via TER is not planned, because it is a commercial (PRO) extension by in2code.

Configuration

TypoScript

• add the static typoscript to your installation
• set the from address and name (esp. necessary for preventing SPF defiance)
• set the subject for reminder emails

Scheduler

• add commands to the scheduler

The "informReceivers" command must be run once a day. If it is run more often, receivers get the same reminder mail more than once a day. If it is run f.e. only once per week, receiver will miss some mails, that will be deleted.

There is room for improvement to make the sending of reminder mails more flexible (once a week f.e.).

Development

A ddev based development environment comes with this extension.

• clone the repository
• run ddev start
• run ddev initialize
