Additional Addresses Question

    What is the effect of setting up recipients in the “To Recipient(s)” and “Carbon Copy Recipient(s)” boxes in your settings?

    What impact does it have on the original mail message targeted to the mail account?

    I ask because I need to achieve the following:

    • I need my contact form message to be sent from an authenticated mail account so it does not fail or get tagged as being relayed [I created a mail account on my server in cPanel]. Your plugin works perfectly for this.
    • I need 3 people to receive a copy of the contact form message [so I created 3 mail forwards on my server in cPanel]. Can I use your plugin settings somehow to manage & control this rather than doing it through cPanel?
    • I actually do not want a copy of the mail message landing in the mail account on my server as it is unattended and will serve only to accumulate messages and consume server space — so I am writing a cronjob to purge the mail from my server each evening [Ideally I could use your plugin to somehow prevent mail from landing in the mail account and only have it forward to the 3 targeted forward addresses I referred to above] Can your plugin handle this as well?

    Also, is there any documentation associated with your plugin? I could not see any links to documentation anywhere.

    Thanks – and great plugin !

    Yes. It is customary to add additional recipients to the CC: header of an email. That’s precisely what those fields are. Keep in mind this will affect every email generated.

    I actually do not want a copy of the mail message landing in the mail account on my server

    That’s controlled by the mail server, and not the plugin. Normally there is a Sent mailbox that has a copy of every message ever sent. Your cron job should do the trick.

    Got it, thanks @PostmanSMTP. What about documentation. Is there any doc on each of your settings?

    You mean what’s the difference between TO, CC and BCC?

    The TO recipients are seen by everyone. This implies attention of some kind.
    The CC recipients are seen by everyone. This implies an ‘FYI’ notification.
    The BCC recipients are hidden. This also implies an ‘FYI’ notification.

    No @PostmanSMTP.

    “Documentation” is a word that refers to written instructions or explanations relating to how things work and how to manage things.

    For example, your plugin has 4 Tabs on the Manual Configuration screen — Account, Message, Logging, Advanced. On each of those tabs there are settings. What do each of the settings do and what are the various options available for each? Is that written or explained anywhere?

    Thanks for helping.
