I want to send emails to users based on a topic. Let's say they create a topic called Vacation. I want to be able to send them an email via vacation#yourdomain.com, which they will be able to reply to(I have enabled my app to receive email messages).
How can I create this email account dynamically through my domain host(in this case namecheap ) in a Rails app?
IDonethis has this feature.
You have to configure a mail server host on your own server or use the API of your host service.

I am working on a Third party application where I want to send customized template emails to user using webhooks when user place order or shipment gets created.
Is it possible to prohibit system to send email to user who place order and instead of that just fire an event to a third party app(using a webhook) so that that third party app will send email to that user with required and customized new details in new email template(which is not available in default variables of email templates)?
Any solution for this? Please
There's two options. One enables you to prevent emails from being sent and the other repurposes the initial default email. There isn't currently a way to disable the email from being sent as the setting doesn't existing in BigCommerce.
Option 1
Set up an SMTP server and configure mail relay rules
SendGrid covers some good basics on what mail relay is. BigCommerce has a support article for connecting your store to a custom SMTP server. You can also see more in the instructions from Microsoft on how to configure mail relay rules for Exchange.
Overall, this option is more complex.
Option 2
Conversio has a quick and easy guide on replacing the content of the default emails. It isn't the ideal solution, but it is less confusing than sending two receipts.
I am using Mandrill trial account for sending emails, i have a question which i am not able to find a solution.
I have a domain (www.domain.com) which is registered with Mandrill account with an email address email1#domain.com. I have a requirement where i have to sent emails from different sub domains from mandrill. Is there any facility to configure sub domains or wildcard DNS in Mandrill. Basically i want to sent email from different email addresses like email1#subdomain1.domain.com, email2#subdomain2.domain.com, email3#subdomain3.domain.com.
Here the sub domains can be anything which changes for different users, but the main domain doesn't change. Is there ant way to achieve this.
Please help me, I am new to Mandrill.
Since you own the domain and thus also the email server,
go to your email settings
forward/reroute email2#subdomain2.domain.com to email2#domain.com
receive verification link on email2#domain.com
verify and use the application
I am trying to learn the ins and outs of Mandrill, so I created a test app that has no functionality except creating users, signing them in and out, and clicking on a link that sends the user an e-mail through ActionMailer.
So far all of this works fine. I have configured Mandrill to send e-mail in both development and production (Heroku). What I'm trying to do now is configure it to receive e-mails sent from users and do stuff with them. My problem is that I'm not sure what to add as my mail domain in the Sending Domains section of my Mandrill account page.
I've done this before with an app on Heroku using Mailgun. Mailgun gave me a Mailgun subdomain to use for user testing off the bat (app12345678.mailgun.org). I was able to send mail to postmaster#app12345678.mailgun.org and it worked perfectly. With Mandrill it's proven a bit more difficult.
Mandrill doesn't seem to provide a Mandrill subdomain to start with. I suppose my question is: is it at all possible to get a Mandrill subdomain for testing like the one Mailgun provides? If not, how can I go about user testing inbound e-mail with Mandrill if I don't currently own my own custom domain? What can I use as the Sending Domain?
it's not currently possible to use Mandrill's inbound email routing unless you have a domain/subdomain to work with. We don't provide a testing subdomain to use for inbound routing.
Any domains you actually send from in Mandrill will be added to the Sending Domains page. You don't have to manually enter any domains there, since we'll detect any that you use and show them there automatically. If you want to set up SPF and DKIM for your sending domain, you can manually add it in order to validate the records have been added correctly.
If you have other questions specific to your account, our support team is also happy to help if you want to get in touch via the Support button in your account.
i'm searching for a way to send emails with ruby on rails via actionMailer. The difficulty is, that i am sending the emails via gmail smtp. But i have to send them from different email-adresses (the customers have to be able to setup there own email adress, but i dont want to save the credentials).
Any Idea?
Thanks"!
you have to setup a mail server to send your mails for you and you just send the mail with the headers saying that it is from the person's email address. there are many mail servers, sendmail being one of the standards for a VPS. if you pick a service like heroku, they have mailing as an addon: http://addons.heroku.com/sendgrid
I would like to create an email service for all the users on my site, for example: abc#xyz.com, where users will be able to send and receive personalized emails. To start I only need to be able to send and receive emails in Rails.
Users need to be able to register an email at xyz.com and to send and receive emails from xyz.com.
Are there any solutions already available in Rails? Is there any gem or plugin that do this?
If I need to start from scratch, any resource that might helpful for solving the problem would be much appreciated.
Assuming you want to store these users in a SQL database, perhaps you can configure an MTA and an IMAP server to use your Rails database as the user database, then use Squirrelmail or any other web mail client to provide the e-mail user interface.
I believe both Dovecot IMAP server and the Postfix MTA can use MySQL or PostgreSQL to lookup/authenticate users.
There seems to be a webmail app in Rails http://mailr.org/.
