LiveG Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Hi, I want to integrate SendGrid as a mail relay service for my forum. Can this service be used for inbound&outbound mail service? Is there any deployment guide? i have opened a free SendGrid account for testing and activated the service and API key on the ACP. But it doesn't work correctly. Many thanks.

Randy Calvert Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Receiving email is not applicable to IPB. It’s only for sending. There is more to sending email than just getting an API key. You need to setup SPF and DKIM, etc. Those are all things you would do directly inside of Sendgrid not related to IPB. You would want to work with them on that side first before trying to send mail otherwise most mail providers will reject the messages from them.

LiveG Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Thank you. So what is the best solution for outbound&unboung mail? Google keeps blocking me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The first thing you need to do these is to ascertain why google is blocking you. WIthout an answer to that question, its difficult to really answer you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Ah, indeed that would be an issue. The only suggestion I can make is to use a different provider that suites your email numbers. We have sendgrid integration for example, which may be better suited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Randy Calvert Posted April 11 Solution Share Posted April 11 (edited) This post was recognized by Marc Stridgen! Randy Calvert was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 5 points. You can still use Google for sending and receiving email as normal. Sendgrid can be setup by using SPF and DKIM to ALSO be able to send. You don’t need two mailboxes. IPB would send through Sendgrid. (Your outbound listed address may be admin@yourdomain.com). If someone replies, the reply would go to Google which would be the receiving server MX. IPB does not need to be aware of INBOUND email.
