What can be cooked from squid: quick and tasty

If you control several e-mail boxes, but you collect letters from all of them into one box, then you probably also need the ability to write letters (and reply) from this main mail of yours from different names and addresses.

For example, you have main mail [email protected] and all letters from the mail are still collected (sent) to it [email protected] and [email protected]... In case you need to write a letter to someone from the 2nd or 3rd address, then usually you need to go to the desired mail and write a letter directly from there. But you can configure the ability to write letters and reply from these addresses directly from your main mail. In this article I will show you how to do this using the example of basic mail services.

Configuring the ability to send letters from your other address to Yandex mail

Yandex mail does not have a built-in special feature for sending a letter or responding from the desired email address. Initially, you can only choose various variations zones of the same your main address, for example:

In this case, you can set any name. You can change it every time you write a letter or when replying to someone's letter.

There are 2 ways to enable the ability to write from other addresses in Yandex:

Set up the collection of mail from the required e-mail boxes, from whose addresses you want to reply in your main Yandex mail.

In this case, after setting up the collection of letters from the necessary mails, you will immediately be able to select the desired address as the sender.

Add the necessary addresses from which you want to send letters as backup (additional).

If you don't need mail collection, then you can go this way and simply enter the necessary addresses into your Yandex account as additional ones, and then you can send letters from them.

In general, additional addresses in Yandex are needed in order to be able to restore access to your account through them, if, for example, you forget your password.

Option 1 (setting up mail collection) has already been considered in a separate article, Read it and repeat all the steps if, in addition to being able to specify the desired sender address, you also need to collect mail from that address.

Option 2. Adding email addresses as backup addresses for your Yandex account

Open your mail settings and select the "Security" section.

Under the Additional Addresses heading, click Edit.

Enter the required address in the appropriate line and click “Add address”.

Yandex will probably ask you for a password for your current mail. Enter it continue.

Now go to the mail that you specified in the previous step and open there a letter from Yandex with the name “Linking an address to a Yandex account”. Copy the code from there.

Paste this code on the Yandex page and click “Confirm”.

If everything is done correctly, then a message will be displayed that you have linked the address. Click OK.

Ready! Now you can select the added address as the sender address.

How do I choose the right sender address?

The required sender address is selected directly when creating a letter or when replying to an incoming letter.

When creating a new letter, click on the address that was initially specified at the top and a list of available addresses for substitution as the sender's address will open. Select the one you want. If you need to change the sender's name, click on the name that was originally specified and change it.

Please note that you cannot change the sender's photo. It will always be the same (which you specified in your Yandex account settings), regardless of which sender address and name you specify.

If you need to change the sender's address when replying to someone's incoming letter, then in the reply form, click the button “Go to the full reply form” and then everything is exactly the same as described above.

Sending letters from another address to Mail.ru

In the mail service Mail.ru there is only one way to connect other email addresses in order to be able to indicate them as the sender's address. This method is to configure mail collection. That is, you need to connect the desired mailbox (from which letters will be collected) to your mail in Mail.ru and immediately after that you will be able to specify the address of the connected mail as a sender when sending a letter (and when responding to incoming letters).

How to configure mail collection in Mail.ru is described

To then select the sender's address when creating a letter, just open the list "from address" at the top of the window for creating a letter and select the desired address.

You can also select the sender's name “from”. Initially, you will have one name. If you want to add another sender's name, then open the mail settings and select “Sender's name and signature” there.

Another block will appear for entering the data of the new sender. Enter the desired sender's name and signature, if required, then click “Save” below.

Ready! Now, when writing a letter, you can select the desired sender from the "From" list.

When you reply to an incoming letter, everything is the same, nothing changes.

Sending letters from another address in the GMail service

In Gmail, just like in Yandex, you have 2 options to connect other sender addresses:

Connecting another email address only to indicate it as the sender's address.

Set up the collection of letters from the email you need (or several) and then you will automatically be able to select the connected address as the starting address when creating a letter (or when responding to incoming letters).

How to set up mail collection in Gmail from mailboxes located on other mail services is described. You can read about setting up collection in Gmail from other mailboxes of the same Gmail service.

Accordingly, if you do not need to collect mail from any other mailboxes, use the 1st option, if necessary, it is easier to immediately use the second.

If you use option # 2 (ie, set up mail collection), then nothing else will need to be done to set up the sender's address.

If you chose option # 1, then go to the mail settings on the “Accounts and Import” tab and in the “Send emails as” block, click “Add another email address”.

In the window, enter the desired sender's name and address (you must have access to the specified email!).

It is better to disable the "Use as an alias" option, because in this case the messages that you will send to the added address (if you suddenly need it) will be duplicated in your Inbox folder.

Check the username for connecting the second address (if specified incorrectly, correct) and specify the password for that mail. Click “Add Account”.

A window will open for inserting a confirmation code, which must be taken from the connected mail. Go to the email address you specified in the previous step, open the confirmation email from GMail and copy the code from there.

Paste the copied code into the appropriate line and click “Confirm”.

Ready! Now, when creating a letter, in the "From" line, you can select connected mail as the sender's address by selecting it from the list. The answer to an incoming letter is the same.

Conclusion

If you use several email accounts, then, most likely, the ability to configure the choice of the sender's address will come in handy, so that each time you do not go into a separate mail account, but send letters from one of your main mailboxes, choosing only the desired sender address.

And everything is done quite simply, as can be seen from the instructions.

Click "Settings" on the toolbar, or select the menu item "Settings" / "General settings", and change the settings for the program you are using directly. This should open a new window. All settings are grouped into five main categories:

Message sending settings

Here you can change the basic settings for Atomic Mail Sender.

Configuring SMTP

You can set a specific type of message sending. Atomic Mail Sender supports the following sending types:

Directly

V this mode Atomic Mail Sender delivers all messages directly to recipient mailboxes. This method is the fastest, but remember that some ISPs do not allow direct access (ie SMTP port # 25 is closed).

The number of connections for one SMTP server.

• "Wait seconds / minutes after letters" - setting a pause in the sending process by entering a break time after a specified number of sent letters.
• "Message limit / hour" - setting the number of sent messages per hour of mailing.

Directly. On error via SMTP

Atomic Mail Sender tries to send a message directly; however, if serious errors occur, the program will send messages through the specified SMTP server. You can set the required SMTP server in the additional lower tab “List of relays (SMTP)”. In order to change the parameters of an SMTP-account already indicated in the list, double-click on it with the left mouse button or click on the "+" button in the upper right corner of the SMTP-accounts list window.

"Speed ​​limit"- the possible number of messages sent per hour is set. Increasing the limit value increases the sending speed. The value is directly proportional to the number of selected SMTP servers.

"Streams"- the number of streams (connections) for each SMTP server is set, the number of streams depends on the number of selected SMTPs and is summed up automatically.

"Multithreaded mailing"- for each relay, the user sets the number of connections (streams). At start, if there is no check mark on "Use SMTP Rotation" total number of broadcast streams = sum of streams of all active SMTP.

Use SMTP Rotation- sets the number of messages that the relay sends during activity
Rotation of SMTP servers is the setting of Atomic Mail Sender to send messages progressively through several SMTP servers. The step-by-step scheme of the program can be described as follows: stage 1... All SMTP servers are suspended.
stage 2. The next SMTP server in the list is selected.
stage 3. The number of messages specified in the rotation settings is sent through the selected SMTP server (subject to the restrictions set for the SMTP server)
stage 4. As soon as active SMTP has sent a certain number of messages (which is equal to the number of messages per rotation), the transition to the next SMTP server is performed. Steps 1-4 are performed again and in turn.

For example, if the settings are set:
smtp.example.com - 4 streams,
smtp.examplesite.com - 5 streams,
There is a check mark on "Use smtp rotation" 2 messages / server.
Then the mailing will be done in 2 streams.

Directly. SMTP on demand

Atomic Mail Sender performs direct sending of all messages, except for those marked in the list in the additional lower tab "Domains List". Using this list, you can specify masks for messages to be sent using SMTP. For example, if you enter aol.com and wanadoo.fr, all messages to these addresses will be sent using the other selected SMTP server.

"SMTP for only"- entering a list of domains (for example, gmail.com) for message delivery via external SMTP. For all addresses with other domains, "Direct" will be used.

Only through external SMTP

All messages are sent using the specified external SMTP server. It is possible to use several SMTP servers, in this case Atomic Mail Sender will use different servers to deliver a message (in turn).

While checking, Atomic Mail Sender sends a letter through each server from the list to the address specified by the user (a process similar to sending test messages). Thus, available and unavailable SMTP accounts are determined. After verification, available accounts in the list of relays are highlighted in green, unavailable - in red, unverified - in black. As part of managing inaccessible accounts, the program offers options for the user: delete, disable, skip.

In order to change the parameters of an SMTP account already indicated in the list, double-click on it with the left mouse button or click on the "+" button in the upper right corner of the SMTP-accounts list window.

Many SMTP servers require authentication. Atomic Mail Sender supports ESMTP (the most common), CRAM MD5, DIGEST MD5 (with secure password transmission), as well as POP3 authentication (outdated). In case authentication is required, enter the username and password (as well as the POP3 server name for POP authentication).

You need to familiarize yourself with the online documentation of your provider or contact the provider of the SMTP server and, having learned all the settings from them, enter them in the appropriate fields:

"SMTP Server"- server address and port

"Login" and "Password"- fields are filled in if user authorization is required. In the "Login" field, you can use an e-mail address.

"POP server"- to be filled in if "POP before SMTP (obsolete)" is selected in the authorization. Entering the name and port of the protocol, if sending will occur to servers of outdated mail clients.

"E-mail address of the sender"- the e-mail address from which you can send mailings through this server - often this is the same address as the login.

"Connections to the server (streams)"- the number of connections for one SMTP server (you can specify 1 stream, but some servers also support multi-threaded connections).

• Wait from to seconds / minutes after letters - setting a random waiting time after a specified number of letters.
• Message Limit / Hour - Mailing Rate: Sets the number of messages sent per hour of mailing.

DNS setup

DNS detects IP addresses, that is, it translates symbolic names to IP addresses.

Also, DNS determines the servers to which messages should be sent. Usually Atomic Mail Sender automatically detects DNS servers. In case you want to use a different DNS server, or Atomic Mail Sender was unable to detect it automatically, select "Use special meanings" and indicate which ones.

Proxy settings

Use proxy

Atomic Mail Sender can send messages using socks / proxy servers. The program supports the following types of proxy servers:

• Socks 4
• Socks 4A
• Socks 5

To enter the required proxy server, click the "+" in the upper right corner. An edit dialog will appear:

Select the type of proxy server from the list and enter the address and port of the selected server. If authentication is required for this server, enter the username and password. Otherwise, leave these fields blank. It is possible to use more than one server, in this case Atomic Mail Sender will use a different proxy server for each new mailing address.

Proxy rotation

This setting implies progressive distribution of messages through several SMTP servers.

Number of messages per rotation "[_] messages / proxy"- the number of messages sent through one SMTP server. As soon as the set portion of messages is sent through the active SMTP server, the next SMTP server is selected to send the next portion of messages.

Timeout (ms) [_] is the waiting time between requests through the proxy server.

Repeat in (s) [_]- time to wait before re-requesting through the proxy server.

Directly if dead- sending messages directly if no proxy server responds.

Attempts [_]- the number of attempts to send requests through one proxy server.

The program provides an opportunity to check all proxy servers. Proxy Checker determines if the specified proxy servers are working or not working. As well as their type, server name and connection speed through the proxy.

Headings

Additional headings (optional and not standardized) can be added to this section as required.

Other

"Keep work log" - create logs for outgoing connections. It is recommended that this option be enabled, because in the event of a problem with sending messages, we will ask you to send log data to establish and eliminate the cause of the malfunction.

"Create delivery report" - after the mailing, an HTML file will be created, which will include summary information about the mailing made. These reports are then always available in the "Service" / "Open reports" menu.

"Play sound when sending is complete" - after sending a message, Atomic Mail Sender will play the specified sound file.

"Special path to scripts for tracking" - it is not recommended to enter anything here, unless you use your own scripts to monitor the status of mailings ().

"Automatically detect for updates" - the program automatically checks for updates with a request to update the program to a newer version.

"Do not show the" Recommend to friends "panel - if the option is not active, then this panel will be presented in the program window. The opportunity to "recommend to friends" is carried out by publishing information on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks and Internet messengers.

To send mail from your VDS, you need to specify a domain name.

If you buy a new server- specify the correct domain when ordering, and the mail will work correctly.

But it's better to create a mail domain in ISPmanager. The panel allows you to flexibly configure mail: enable anti-spam protection, automatic configuration of DKIM and DMARC records, install an SSL certificate, etc.

If you have already bought a server and did not specify a domain, create it through ISPmanager and enable it as an administrator address for the required www-domain.

Why specify a domain?

If you don't, the system will compose the name of the mail domain from your email address and our free technical domain fvds.ru. Then the PTR record will associate the server IP with the wrong mail domain - example.fvds.ru.

In this case, the mail sent from the server will not reach the addressee. The mail service will check the compliance of the IP and domain (to understand that you are not a spammer who sends letters on behalf of someone else). Will see that the domain from which the letter was sent and the domain assigned to the ptr record do not match. And most likely, he will reject the letter as spam.

The last news

This version is more technical, a lot of work has been done in it that is needed for the convenience of developers and quite a few things that end users will need. But to do this work was very important for the future development of the system and for a more correct description of the documentation for the system, which we are dealing with.

What's included in OkayCMS version 3.1.1
- Banner groups now have the ability to set their own individual shortcode, and not use the name suggested by the system - Update the price slider script - Phones are more clearly displayed in the layout of the mobile version - Improved display of TinyMCE in full screen mode - Improved display of videos inserted into the description in categories - Improved displaying a drop-down list of categories when moving products to another category in the admin panel - A bit more

OkayCMS 3.1.0 released

There were quite a few changes, mostly of a technical nature. But so far we have done 80% of what we wanted from modularity. In the coming week, we will do a voluminous, but not too complicated work on modularity, and at the same time we are preparing documentation so that the site developers would understand how to make modules for the new version now.

What's included in OkayCMS 3.0.4

Moved 1C settings from the "Orders" - "Order settings" section to the 1C integration module
- Fixed a bug with binding properties to a product not from the main category, but from the one that is higher in the list when adding an additional category to the product
- Improved sending emails via SMTP
- Fixed the work of the upload module in GoogleMerchant
- Fixed the logic of the selection of all products on the page / all-products
- Fixed creating a new property on the property page

At the moment, the system has implemented a basis for modularity, but no different types modules, there is no way to create certain "types" of modules and it is not clear how to work with this. Therefore, the main goals for the next few sprints are the expansion of the modularity functionality, which will entail both the expansion of the number of modules in the standard version, and the expansion of opportunities for developers, writing documentation on the system so that developers understand how to use these correctly and speed up the work of the client part of the system.
