multiple email address for different notification

[llegrand]

I haven't been able to find a post or a documentation to answer my question, so if anyone knows thanks in advance for sharing.

I would like to have different emails address for different functions -  one for the orders notifications,  a different one for the contact us, etc.

There seems to be only on field in the Settings > Details tab

Settings >Mail  has sections for mail parameters  but I don't know precisely what they do and it doesn't seem that they will accomplish my goal. 

There is also the Additional Email Alerts system but that seems to only send copies of  emails to several different email addresses,  and will not accomplish my goal of having orders go to one address and contact us to another.

Hi Lee - will this help -- system > settings > mail

I had found that Ron,  but it doesn't appear to do what I want it to do.  Seems that just sends the same email to several different addresses.  That would be good if you wanted more than one person tracking something.

What I would like is
orders from orders@mystore.com
newsletters from newsletter@mystore.com (I am probably do that my adding the Mail Chimp)
contacts us from customersupport@mystore.com
That type of thing. 

The question is does the current system provide this?  And if so,  how/where?

Thought that was too easy!  Wanted to at least try to give back, been taking so much. 

No, can't find those functions either - sorry. 

BTW, you mentioned MailChimp - been using them for ages, did you need to use the MailChimp extension? 

Sorry couldn't help with your needs - don't think AC is set for that. 

All the best

I don't believe this is a feature yet, or if its even on the docket to become a feature. I think its a great idea though and should be strongly considered. I would like for the same thing for my site as well. I want to have newsletters send from a newsletter@domain.com or donotreply@domain.com so that if one were to respond it won't fill up our inbox.

thanks Ron and JHammond,

Ron since you use Mail Chimp -  did you hook up the Extension in AbanteCart yet or do you plan to?  I am not familiar with Mail Chimp,
but was thinking it might be a way to handle at least the newsletter sending.  If you have any further guidance on that thought, please share.

I will make a post into features requested section for this to be at least considered for future development.

Hi Lee - I've been using MailChimp for many years, mostly to protect our domain reputation.  It's happened to me that a very few people that signed up for one my newsletters marked it as spam - don't know how many but we got on the blacklist and it took me 2 weeks of diligent work to get us off again!  Ever since then I just design my mailers and paste in the code.  They are a great service - them and Campaign Monitor.  I'm thinking of trying out the MailChimp Integration extension and if I do will report back on it. 

All the best
Ron
