OK; I’ve dived deep into this and I can confirm with 100% certainty that external e-mail addresses i.e. ones not at @mauticinstallation.com, when assigned to e-mails, are IGNORED and mautic uses the DEFAULT address instead.
Now, that’s a Big Bummer.
Also, there is NO WAY to make Mautic not use the ‘append +_bounceXYZ’ into the source e-mail making any responses fail to be delivered 100% if your SMTP server does not support the ‘+’ semantics.
That should be in red all over the place.
Same problem is visible here:
Currently, there is no way to:
- send emails from external domains
- override Mautic messing with the source e-mail address.
Yes, in some cases, especially when sending private e-mails we do not care about tracking at all.
