Mail Sending in FrontAccounting

  • EMails are sent from the server using php's mail() function in /reporting/includes/class.email.inc
  • On successfully having sent the mail, the browser feedbacks states it
  • If EMailing out fails, try to use an SSMTP in your server, which could use a valid email server as relay
  • Alternatively, just install postfix and using smarthost to use another email server
  • The email client is not in any way involved

Problem

When using email to send invoices or other documents to clients, no records are kept of such an event. If a client claims that they did not receive the email, one wouldn't be able to say that it was sent to this address at this time. No Sent Items folder available! Mails are sent as soon as the send email is clicked and the only response one gets is that the email was sent.

Feedback

A solution would be to have all emails sent also sent to a particular email address. This email address could be the email address used in the Company Setup page, but an option for a different email address would be better. Alternatively, a log of sent mail can be maintained.
