Please help

Hi can you check the Magento logs in var/log for any issues.

Do you have access to the database, then check the table mzax_emarketing_email_outbox and the log column. I just published a new release (0.4.7) which will show the value in the admin panel.

imsamthomas commented 8 years ago

Thanks for reply. I trace and test a lot with this.

The main problem is that our Server has been blocked outbound connections on port: 465 or 587 25 by Gcloud https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/ I found some other cloud services are doing like this.

The log shows: 

2015-12-01T10:28:46+00:00 DEBUG (7): Send Message: #19 - 
2015-12-01T10:29:38+00:00 DEBUG (7): Send Message: #20 -

I tried SMPT Pro or your Built-in SMTP did not work except for Google Apps. This Mandrill! works because they are using API not SMTP protocol. Hope you can integrate with this module.

Hey Michael, okay makes sense what you are saying. I used the SMTP API as it was quick and easy to add. Maybe as a quick fix; have a look at the Mandrill Transport class and change the PORT = 2525 and disable SSL = false. If ssl is a must for you then this does not work. Let me know if that works.

I will still look into the API function and try to work something out.

imsamthomas commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I tried Port 2525 but does not work with Mandrill. I think we have to find API solution.

Anyway, We can use Magemonkey (included Mandrill) for emailer. By default, Magemonkey catch send email event for every transactional email on a store. So why not use Magento default email? If so it will work with Mandrill API.

jsiefer commented 8 years ago

Hey Michael, I added an email transport for the API, do you think you can install the files from the above commit and test it out? I tested it in an test environment and it seems to work. Let me know how it goes. thanks

imsamthomas commented 8 years ago

Yes, I can. I will update you when have new information.

jsiefer commented 8 years ago

Hi Michael, have you had chance to try it out yet?

imsamthomas commented 8 years ago

Thanks for your update. We are running a big project. I will try as soon as I can. I think everything is okay as I see in the code.

jsiefer commented 8 years ago

no worries, Ill close this issue then, feel free to reopen it if there is anything wrong with it.

imsamthomas commented 8 years ago

I haved updated and test, using Mandrill API. It did not work even in local. I filled correct API key. 2015-12-25_1737

If I use different transporter, it is okay. There is no log :(

jsiefer commented 8 years ago

Hi Michael,

I checked again and it works fine. Never the less I re-factored the implementation and added an API test call to the configuration so it will show you if there is any issue with the API key or any settings and also improve the logging. Also try to check the mzax_emarketing.log
