I have a user who represents a “strange” use-case that I need a way to handle.
He has two e-mails that are somehow recognized by gmail as equivalent.
He originally signed up as [email protected] and later somehow also added [email protected] without the “.” …
Unfortunately he has multiple devices and is very inconsistent with how he sends e-mails.
He got blocked the first time he sent to the mailing group from [email protected] because I had him listed as [email protected].
So is there a way I can add both of his addresses and mark one as “paused” so that he can send from either, but will only receive mails on the active (not paused) address?
Alternatively, if there was a user property to capture alias addresses that could also work, but think of all the overhead every time you send an e-mail. Uggh.
It would be simple enough and also effective if I could just “pause” the secondary addresses. When sending you could let the database do the work with a select * from blah where active_send_address = true; kind of thing and a paused address would be active_send_address = false.
Any ideas how to solve this one without a code change?
]]>For that reason I wanted to use the “From: (Sender Name)” feature, but the problem is that some mail clients (especially iOS/iPadOS) don’t show both the sender name and the e-mail at all times. This leads to people hitting reply and thinking they are replying to just the sender and it’s going to the group.
I would like an option for “From: (Sender Name) via (List Name)” or the ability to customize the string using the {vars} available in other customizable fields.

If I deactivate WP Mailster, then the Site Health is squeaky clean and the JetPack dashboard also loads quickly.

An active PHP session was detected
Performance
A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.The REST API encountered an error
Performance
The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.The REST API request failed due to an error.
Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)Your site could not complete a loopback request
Performance
Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.
Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)

thank you.
]]>#1, operate a LISTSERV. eMails to a mailbox are forward to each group member and all replies are forwarded to each group member,
#2, the ability to send an email to a small group of users with replies going to either the sender of a specified address.
#2 is straightforward, #1 is possible but both the plug-in solutions I have found so far require the PHP iMap Module which my hosting provider is not prepared to install. Dada Mail will also work but I cannot run Dada Mail on the hosting WordPress platform.
Any alternative suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help.
