Hi Justin, Was wondering how difficult it would be to have emailed invoices go out with a return receipt request as a way of verifying that a customer actually got the invoice. I used to do that with thunderbird, but it's so much easier to email it from inside simpleinvoices.
Justin, It works! I merely edited /modules/include/mail/class.phpmailer.php with what seemed like the correct values. note that sending emails worked fine before i did all the edits. i first just changed line 134 ( var $ConfirmReadingTo = "cliff@ccpip.com"; ) but that didn't seem to work, but i was testing it with a gmail account. i then read somewhere that phpmailer return receipt does not work with gmail, yahoo mail, etc. so i went back into class.phpmailer.php and changed other relevant info, namely
line 61 to var $From = "cliff@ccpip.com"; line 67 to var $FromName = "Cliff Pankonien"; line 74 to var $Sender = "cliff@ccpip.com"; line 134 to var $ConfirmReadingTo = "cliff@ccpip.com"; line 156 to var $Host = "mail.ccpip.com"; line 174 to var $SMTPAuth = true; line 180 to var $Username = "my email username"; line 186 to var $Password = "my email password";
so not sure if all that is necessary but it works! woohoo!
This has been implemented in the current SVN - commit 1170. It can be set as a boolean variable $email_ack in the config/config.php without having to hack the PHPMailer class. It has been set to send the confirm receipt to the sender's email id if true.
