[Plugin: Better WP Security] Sending backup emails through Mandrill stopped working

    I’m getting errors sending the email backups to me in error_logs.

    I’m using mandrillapp.com (wpmandrill is the plugin to the app) to send emails so I can track and get better deliverability. It uses the native wp email functions but sends through their system.

    It started with the last upgrade of Better WP Security. It’s generating the backups but not sending.

    Here is an example of the error in my root, error-log

    [12-Aug-2012 12:49:03]
wpMandrill::sendEmail: Exception Caught => The domain of the email you provided has not been verified by Mandrill.

[12-Aug-2012 12:49:03]
wpMandrill::wp_mail_native: [email protected] (Site Database Backup Sunday, August 12th, 2012 at 5:49 am)

    Mandrill is set correctly and my domain is verified. I don’t know if Better WP Security is using another ‘send as’ email address?

    Here’s the wp-admin/error-log:

    [11-Aug-2012 14:07:04]
wpMandrill::sendEmail: Exception Caught => The domain of the email you provided has not been verified by Mandrill.

    I’ve changed the email address and path to root for security reasons.

    These don’t make much sense to me but I do know it’s not delivering email backups to me since the upgrade.
    Thanks.

  • @mandrill Kaitlin and @mc_will thanks. That could explain a LOT of issues folks are having. Any suggestion on a format it will support? What about someway to whitelist this plugin? I would love to work with you guys on this if you could please email me at info [at] bit51 [dot] com

    Hey,

    We have been adding support for new formats in a regular-ish basis. However, I can’t tell right now when we’ll be adding support for zip files… if ever.

    There’s a couple of ways I think we could make it work:

    1) If your plugin checks for the existence of the wpMandrill class… and if so, use the function wpMandrill::wp_mail_native instead of wp_mail (same parameters)…

    or 2) If wpMandrill detects that your plugin is the sender and forward your call to wpMandrill::wp_mail_native instead… I’ll need to find a reliable way to univocally tell your plugin is the sender.

    @mc_will

    Number 1 should be doable. I’ll put something in the dev version in the next week or so. Could I then ask you to test it?

    Sure!

    Thanks!
