I'm using the "Configure SMTP" plugin to send WP emails with authenticated gmail SMTP. Emails are sent elsewhere in WP, but nothing is making it to Aweber.</p> <p>Any idea when this will be fixed?

This is due to limitations that existed with AWeber's API when we created the AWeber Add-On.</p> <p>If the WP-Mail-SMTP overrides the From Name and From Email by setting it to your SMTP account From then that is going to cause a problem with the current version of the AWeber Add-On.</p> <p>IF your web server itself doesn't want to send email unless you use the SMTP Plugin, that too is going to be problematic. You may want to check with your web host to see why your web server won't send email via the WordPress wp_mail() function.</p> <p>The good news is we will be updating the AWeber Add-On to support adding subscribers via AWeber's NEW API capabilities in January. This will allow us to add the new subscriber via an API call rather than having to send an email. They finally updated their API to allow new subscribers to be added via the API so we can now update our AWeber Add-On to support this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/php-mail-vs-smtp-with-gf-aweber#post-44796 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:51:50 +0000 Andre 44796@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm running GF 1.6.2 and AWeber add-on 1.0...</p> <p>I guess my question is - does GF work with:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/</a></p> <p>... which Carl Hancock cited here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/email-notifications-stopped-working-all-of-a-sudden" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/email-notifications-stopped-working-all-of-a-sudden</a></p> <p>Here's my problem...</p> <p>GF won't send email signups to AWeber. Nothing. Nada. So I tried setting up WP-Mail-SMTP.</p> <p>It works. As in, AWeber actually receives the lead info ... *kinda*.</p> <p>WP-Mail-SMTP (and I've tested others too) changes the FROM email to that of my Google Apps email account.</p> <p>So instead of the name/email of the lead from the GF ending up in AWeber ... it's parsing my Google SMTP email in as the from email. D'oh.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Andre </p>
