Did You Know About Success and Failure Notifications?

So, today's "Did you know... ?" feature is dedicated to Success and Failure notifications. If you have our GetMail module, you can configure PageGate to respond back to the sender of a message to let them know if their message was successful or if it failed. Here's how you can set it up:

When a message is successfully delivered, PG looks for a file named successnotifylist.txt in the PG program folder. This file can contain a list of email addresses that will receive notification that the message was successful. You can use the special value %Sender% on one of the lines to have the sender of the message in the list.

In addition you need a success.mtp file in the PG program folder to be used as a template for what is sent in the success notification message. It uses the same variables at the message delivery templates.

The same process happens for a failed message, but it uses a failurenotifylist.txt and a failure.mtp file instead.

To mimic the old behavior create a successnotifylist.txt file in the PG folder with a single line containing %Sender%. Do the same for a failurenotifylist.txt file.

For more details on configuring these notification files, see PageGate Message Notification.
