I'm new to Umbraco and i'm currently in a project that uses the technology. The client now wants to implement a newsletter, and we decided to go for Newsletter Studio.
At the moment, we are implementing and testing the newsletter studio in our project and we encontered a little probem: the email defined as sender, always receives a "Newsletter Studio Test" email. We do unsderstand that this is defined in the "senderDefaultEmail" in newsletterStudio.config file. But if we leave it empty it will give us an error. Is there a away to change the text for this email or just not receive it at all?
I would really appreciate any help with this! Thanks in advance!
The sending engine will send a test e-email to a test-address just to check that the smtp-server works before it starts to send all the emails (to avoid getting 1000's of exceptions during the send out).
You can configure the "sendConnectionTestEmailTo"-address in the newsletterStudio.config-file.
We are using a smtp.office365.com server. If we put our email in the "sendConnectionTestEmailTo" everything goes fine, but we always receive the test email.
If we let the default "[email protected]" stay, or change it to any other inexistent email the application give us an error and still send the emails to the specified mailing list. We assume that the error is that he is trying to send the test email and fails.
So my question is: the application will always try to send that test email? Is there a way to disable it?
Newsletter studio is working perfectly (connection to the server, sending emails, etc), it's only this small thing that we didn't figured out yet!
The thing is that without this check there is no way to stop the sending if for example something like password, ports, or connection dosent work.
Lets say that the mail server is unavailable when you are trying to send - then all of the emails will end up as errors in the analytics logs.
This test e-mail is just a way to make sure that everything works as expected before starting the sending.
The [email protected] will be both the sender and the receiver of the test email and since some SMTPs has restrictions on which adress's that you can send from you will have to provide a valid email for this server - you could change it to something like a [email protected] etc - as long as the mail server respond with a success-status.
There is no way to turn it of at the moment but if this is a showstopper for you I would be able to provide a new version where this is an option that you can turn of? Even if I would recommend you to go with the current set up and just inform your client about this.
Thank you for the reply! That's what we needed to know!
Now we want to purchase a Newsleter Studio license. But our situation is this: our umbraco aplication responds to 4 different web domains and for now we want the newsletter functionality only in one of those domains.
How does the license works? Is per domain? Or per umbraco application? In the future can we use it in all domains if we want?
Sounds great! One license is allowed to be used on one website. If you're application has 4 totally different websites you would need one license per site. If it is the same website but with different domains (languages, departments etc) you are fine with one license.
Please buy the license on the website and send me an email and I'll add the 4th domain to your license (markus [at sign goes here] enkelmedia.se).
Newsletter Studio: sender always receives a "Newsletter Studio Test"
Hello guys!
I'm new to Umbraco and i'm currently in a project that uses the technology. The client now wants to implement a newsletter, and we decided to go for Newsletter Studio.

Hi Bruno!
Thanks for going with Newsletter Studio!
The sending engine will send a test e-email to a test-address just to check that the smtp-server works before it starts to send all the emails (to avoid getting 1000's of exceptions during the send out).
You can configure the "sendConnectionTestEmailTo"-address in the newsletterStudio.config-file.
The default email should be a email anding with @enkelmedia.se - what SMTP-server are you using?
