Gotchas for 0.3.0

[trevor]

Well I'll figure out how to use this... If I need help, I hope you got my back @julian since this is your idea. PostageApp it is!

[Chris]

I love the idea of using a Canadian made version of what I've already got going but the pricing just is a bit off to what I'm use to.

I'm already using postmark app in a few places as well as mandrill one our bigger project. hmmn.

[julian]

@trevor @theepiphany Not to worry, within a couple days we'll have the other plugins ready to go

[trevor]

Thats good to know, thanks @julian

Mailgun plugin ready to rock & roll: https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-emailer-mailgun

[skaughtx0r]

I just got sendmail/postfix working on my server yesterday!

As long as I don't have to pay for one of these services its fine.

[julian]

Haha, sorry @skaughtx0r ! The blistering pace of NodeBB development... on the up-side, you can stick with 0.2.1 for the time being. Then your postfix install will continue to work.

Don't worry, the two plugins listed above are both free (to an extent). PostageApp allows 100 per day, Mailgun allows 10,000.

I'm pretty sure you won't send more than 10k emails a day

[skaughtx0r]

I'm pretty sure you won't send more than 10k emails a day

I think its 10k/month, but I highly doubt I'll ever use that much.

I'll update, it's not that big of a deal, I'd rather stay on the bleeding edge while I'm developing the site.

[julian]

Ah, you're right, it's 10k a month. What a rip-off. ( )

Postmark plugin is ready to go!

[trevor]

Keep up the good work!

[Chris]

Postmark plugin is ready to go!

You're like a machine.

[julian]

Haha... just a couple to get the ball rolling. The majority of the work had been done with the PostageApp plugin, so it was more a matter of replacing "postageapp" with "postmark" or what have you...

nodebb-plugin-emailer-mandrill

basically copied your mailgun files,
Ctrl+R "mailgun" "mandrill"
npm publish

don't try this at home

[julian]

Hahaha -- yes, it is that easy...

I mean, well... hopefully the mandrill plugin is called the same way as Mailgun...

Edit: Updated the original post. Thanks again.

I tried it at home, and it worked! Thanks for the plugin!

[bentael]

@skaughtx0r great! feel free to submit features/issues or pull-requests.

[julian]

Updated the list with another gotcha! If you're running a non-English forum, please be advised.

Looks like @barveyhirdman is writing a local SMTP mailer for NodeBB :x
