Most likely a spam bot without an account, posting a message, and then being sent the “continue registering…” email to the fake email address. Happens a lot! Also the application will properly handle the bounce if the email is not an actual member account!

Have you set them up using AWS’ SNS service? Directions are found in the app description. Every time AWS sends a notification to your IPB community, a log will be entered! As for the prune settings and search functionality, no problem!

Unfortunately we have no way of knowing unless one of our clients who utilizes both apps can report their success. However, we have built our app in a way that doesn’t “reinvent the wheel” but uses IPBs core email sending functionally. So unless some app took drastic measures to send email a different way, I’d imagine they play well together. Great idea. That would definitely be an issue!

Please give it a positive review if you enjoy the application! Thanks!

Fantastic. Thanks! Conclusion is - I am blind.

Thanks - but he said "an upcoming release..." doesn't mean the next one 😉

I must be blind - did the process for requesting support disappear on the website? Or should one just request support through their installation now? Also, do we know the timeline on when the following bug is being addressed? Got some seriously antsy clients who this is affecting big time. Thanks!

Thanks for the support however I can't commit to any specifics as I have no control over the app review process and there are many unknowns in the whole development process. Promising features in a specific timeframe is the quickest way to poorly developed applications 😉

FYI we are building bounce and complaint management into our AWS SES app. Are there any specific features you’d like to apply to members when a bounce or complaint is returned from their email besides moving them groups, and sending them a message?

In most cases, a configuration set will not be needed. It allows you to add a set of defined rules from AWS to your emails that get specified in the email header. These are things that are invisible to the average user. For example, you can have AWS track metrics on your emails sent and then have the metrics published to another AWS service. This is advanced usage case but possible with configuration sets.

I think most of the posts in this topic have covered it. Utilizing the API over SMTP is significantly faster. If your community is sending many emails a day, this will help speed up your site.

Service refers to the software being used in this case. So in AWS, you will have a Wordpress user with their own credentials and a separate IPB user with their own credentials.

As long as the AWS Access Key has the right policies attached, yes you can use the same credentials. It comes down to more user preference. I typically sort my credentials by service so I can rotate them individually. That way if your Wordpress installation is compromised, IPB will remain safe. Also, you may attach different policies for IPB than for Wordpress which helps you keep each credential with the least amount of access as possible.

Application has been released!

Good news! Application has been released!

Application has been released.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is always a very stable option. Very widely supported and EOL in 2023 with maintenance/security patches out to 2028. Ubuntu 20.04 just came out this year yet and is making its way into mainstream although I see 18.04 more widely used. Plesk offers a free option for their control panel software that supports 3 domains before needing to upgrade. I personally like it more than WHM/cPanel. More intuitive and user friendly.

It’s merely telling you the scope you are requesting, authorization_code, is not a valid scope. Although I cannot tell which OAuth provider you are using, I’m guessing authorization_code isn’t a valid scope. I’ve never seen that before. Typically scopes correspond with resources you want access to such as profile, email, user, openid etc.

Application has been submitted and is awaiting approval!

I just sent @AlexWebsites an updated version with some updates he suggested. I will submit it for review tomorrow and it will be up to @Daniel F and the team to review and release it.

@Chris Anderson, all valid questions. The application is extremely light weight. At this point, we are only overriding 2 functions to introduce the functionality. Having said that, as IPB changes and updates are made, this makes it extremely easy to update alongside IPB. IPB devs has already done the leg work in developing the application to be easily extended. This is how they have already integrated Sendgrid, SMTP, PHPMailer etc. These are all extensions of their base Email class. To be honest, I am surprised they have not included many other email service options as it was very easy to build in this functionality. Second, this application is built on AWS's open source PHP SDK which is heavily supported and has a very large audience. Third, we have a fairly large audience in the applications we've developed with over 1000 clients having used our services. Lastly, and in all reality, I wouldn't be too worried. I am confident IPB will introduce this functionality natively in the future as they already work with S3. All it takes is for a community to rely heavily on a third party application for them to introduce it into their core application. Thanks for the questions!

I've developed an integration application that will allow your IPB community to send emails via the AWS SES API. I will release it to the marketplace however looking for some folks to test it. Please send me a PM if interested.
