Send test bulk mail email

[Jordan Miller]

Hi there, 

I think it'd be cool to have a "test" send button when sending bulk emails. I test my emails by creating a unique group, then creating a new member using one of my email addresses, then sending it to that group. 

Would be awesome if there was a "send test" button that sent your email to an email address you specify instead.

Hope that makes sense. Just a thought 🙂

I'm interested in the idea, I may release a plugin for it in MP soon.

what's the difference sending to a usergroup that has email you specified as test?

Now available...

Oh yeah I was testing emails just like that sending to the admin group only before I send to everybody else 🙂

This should become a core feature without a doubt.

Already used it! Thanks! Works great. 

My suggestion would be to auto-fill the email address with something like the site’s “Incoming email address” so it doesn’t have to be typed in again over and over again.

I use SendGrid as well 🙂

What do you mean hotmail does not work? 

The only problem I have with SendGrid is the unsubscribe link. They can't seem to center it, and I can't figure out a way to manually insert in my email templates in my IPB admin panel.

Now updated to auto fill with board incoming mail.

Oh really? I wonder if that error is happening to users on my site, too.
