When Cloudron updates the WordPress app, would it reinstall an enable SMTP Mailer?
-
Another WordPress, another forced madness with trying to remember all the sites that have FluentSMTP setup, but the unwanted SMPT Mailer reinstallation, and reactivation then stopping FluentSMTP from working.
I still don't understand why we can't have the SMTP credentials set and working in
credentials.txt
but just not have any plugin force-fed on the app.It feels like breaking rocks having to remember, find, and fix every instance each time

@marcusquinn I have a workaround for you till we implement the mail relay feature. Put this in the cron section of the app:
@reboot echo "Deactivate smtp-mailer" && sudo -u www-data -i -- /app/pkg/wp --path=/app/data/public/ plugin deactivate smtp-mailer
This disables the mailer plugin on updates automatically.

@girish Thanks. Will give it a go. I have a mixture of apps where I've setup Fluent, and those which do still have the default SMPT Mailer, so gonna have to be better at remembering which, and making this a part of my routines.
Still happy to recommend FluentSMTP, though. Those email logs are super handy on knowing what's sent or not under many different circumstances where interruptions or issues can happen that would otherwise be invisible and no easy way to resend any that failed for any reason.

Perhapa put them intoa group called Fluent or something? that's what I'd do
