Gotchas for 0.3.0

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 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!

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

[BarveyHirdman]

@julian well for now I basically just copied the Mailgun plugin and changed the values to save a minimal SMTP config and wired nodemailer in, but I'll get to it and all kinds of wizardry. (Like DKIM, popular services, anything possible with Nodemailer)

At the rate coding is moving, what's the best ETA for 0.3.0?

[julian]

Hi @planner -- there are some issues we need to figure out for 0.3.0, so we're looking at sometime in the coming week or two*.

The bulk of the hard stuff is done already, and we could just release it now, but that would be irresponsible of us

* Don't quote me on this!

[finid]

@julian

That still puts the release within this month, which is just fine with me. I intend to make a test installation and if all goes well, have it on my site two weeks after that.

[finid]

@julian

Does that mean that all those 16 outstanding issues on GitHub will be fixed in the week or two?

Looks like a lot of fixing, but I'm rooting for you guys.
