Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Management Lindy Posted March 7, 2016 Management Posted March 7, 2016 I'm moving this to peer to peer, but note, I'm in discussion with Sparkpost and it's likely we'll have direct integration soon.

Will this be IPBoard 4 only? I'm running five IPB 3 boards and I depend heavily on bulk mailing via Mandrill. Given the short time frame until end of April I have no chance to migrate all projects until then. Andreas

For IPB3, you can just use SMTP functions to ping out to Sparkpost, SES, Sendgrid, etc. For those that don't want to use Sparkpost in IPS4, you could do the same.

I ended up mixing up SparkPost and SendGrid, however, neither of them worked. I tried both and with correct API key. Turns out a php file was disabled which was causing it. All working well now with SparkPost. On 3/6/2016 at 0:24 PM, The Old Man said: Daft question but did you register with Sparkpost or Sendgrid? You have entered settings for Sparkpost, but mentioned SendGrid at the start of your post? That password seems way too long as OpenType mentioned.

Another good reason to switch to IPS 4. If there was a working Classifieds solution... SMTP is not a real option for me, bulk mail to one of my smaller communities (4,500 subscribers) took 4 hours via SMTP and Sparkpost. Andreas
Tom Irons Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @Lindy when I try to use sparkpost for bulk mail I get a lot of errors... will this be fixed when you guys finish the integration?

The Old Man Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I wonder what the benefit is with Sparkfire etc intergration into IPS4, as opposed to just using the SMTP Relay details as we're doing now? I've read about SMTP slowing down IPS when emails are sent out, is that the main reason or is it for better reporting/logging/deliverability etc?

Short term, that's probably it, but in the longer term Lindy (or someone else on the staff here?) has mentioned that they are considering adding things like bounce detection, like what the Mandrill Bouncer app does now.
Morgin Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Just had my sparkpost account disabled today. My reputation in mandrill was something like 99.3%. Sparkpost I had a rejection rate of like 30% today and over the last few weeks of > 15%. Followed their guides and had my domain totally verified with dkim and spf. Haven't been doing anything other than board transactional e-mails. Not really sure wtf.

Management Lindy Posted March 18, 2016 Management Posted March 18, 2016 2 hours ago, PacmanDo said: Any movement here? No, but it's my fault - SparkPost was responsive, I just need to get in touch with them and iron something out. I haven't had the opportunity to do so, but will follow-up next week.
knightsystems Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Trying to use SparkPost, always getting connection timed out.

Tom Irons Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 @Lindy Any update on what ever you had to iron out with SparkPost? I know this maybe the wrong time to ask the question, but if/when SparkPost gets integrated, what will the full capabilities be?
PacmanDo Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 @Lindy, Mandrill ends as it was on April 26th. It would be nice to have a replacement integrated before that happens. What are the plans please?
abetts Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I migrated from Mandrill to SparkPost yesterday, 5 minute job and looking at the stats, it's sending 3 times as much mail as Mandrill! Weird!!
