I have 3 people that the server tries to keep sending emails.I am pretty sure they are subscription emails.But i am not sure why they are being sent out repeatedly whether they are failed, or actually need to be resent.
b2 uses php mail function to send out these subscription mails right ? Is there a way to change that to smtp authentication ?
Not yet. It's on the todo list but we haven't had time to search for a good way to talk to an SMTP server directly from the PHP code.
Any recommendation.
On a related note: in v5 we log outgoing messages and handle Return-Path notifications, which means we handle delivery errors almost automatically.
