In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Attachments don't work – ERROR PostmanWpMailThis appears to still be unfixed. We are receiving unable to open ‘xxx’ for reading errors on any email with attachments, we use the SendGrid API method.

In reply to: WordPress Not Resizing Large Images so Thumbnails Are Over 4000pxI can also confirm this.
Regenerating thumbnails using common plugins also does not fix the issue, if the image is large (Circa 30MB+) the thumbnails will not generate for those images.
If you would like to add a link to the file uploaded in the email message, add this to the message body:
Image : <a href="http://www.replacewithyourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_uploads/[file-xxx]">Link to Image</a>Make sure to replace the website address, and the file shortcode with the one your form uses.
As stated there are several risks.
Some issues I have take into account:
- Files are never deleted, so the upload folder can quickly get very big, requiring manual administration by a developer
- By that same token, if someone was aware of this there are a number of scenarios where they might take advantage of that. (Upload files to your site and use it essentially as their own hosting)
- If the .htaccess file inside the folder is not set up properly, people could browse all uploaded files, and do as they please with what could be confidential information
I have created a forked version of the plugin. This means if there are any updates to the plugin, (which there have been since I created this) they won’t be applied, I won’t maintain it, this is a risk in itself.
I wouldn’t normally condone this, but if you’re happy to proceed, I don’t mind sharing.
Hi Paul,
I managed to get this working yesterday. I found a number of other threads regarding this issue, and basically it’s been declined as it opens up a number of security holes.
If you are happy with that I can post to you privately the solution…

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Bad Request(invalid_grant)That’s really good progress already.
Thanks for looking into the feature.I’d love this solution too.
User submits form with attachment, attachment stays on Server in folder and the submitted form has a direct link to it.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Bad Request(invalid_grant)That’s right I’ve switched it back to Oauth just to help alleviate this particular problem.
I’m more than happy to provide a login to the site in question if you’d like to get in there and take a proper look?
The volumes are significant, I wasn’t aware they would be quite as high as they are. It’s a good stress test for your plugin, that’s for sure!

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Bad Request(invalid_grant)Yeah we enabled (Disabled?) the allow “Less Secure Apps” option before starting so it appears it’s still triggering the lockout somehow.
I think we will probably need to move to Mandrill or Sendgrid rapidly!

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Bad Request(invalid_grant)Unfortunately, even though I set the logs to 100 (as the form is so active) those problematic ones have cleared since my previous reply so I can’t check.
I’ve also found out that just using Login Authentication isn’t a good alternative as a lot of the email logs now say:
5.7.9 Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more at 5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 u193sm2983960oia.18 – gsmtp
Obviously a separate issue, from the looks of it Google forcing a ‘you gotta log in to keep sending emails via this app’ check.
Is is possible to suggest as a future feature a ‘try resending’ option on the ‘bulk edit’ log view? I understand that it’s probably outside of the scope of the plugin but it would be handy for when this kinda thing occurs.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Bad Request(invalid_grant)Praise to you, it’s the best Mailer plugin I’ve come across by a long way.
I guess the API is probably the most reliable method, but we’ve got a very active contact form on this particular site.
Is it better then to switch to the ‘Login’ Authentication mode instead? That’s what we’ve done for the moment just to see if it helps…
