Okay, then leave the incorrect information there? No worries though, I purchased a service to help me with email validation.

While I can connect out on port 25 on my server, I can assure you that isn't actually a requirement. Outgoing ports are ephemeral. They are not tied one to one to the port they are connecting to. It happens like this: randomlocalserverport:49652 connects to smtp.gmail.com:25 It's not...

But that doesn't need port 25 open on my server. The local server opens an ephemeral port (iirc, 40000+) and connects to the remote server on its port 25. So, I think your warning is technically incorrect. That's not really how TCP/IP works. More importantly, the email validation doesn't seem...

Actually I just realized when I saw the checkbox for automated that my server is on AWS, which blocks 25 by default. Any reason you need to use 25 to send email? Isn't that just the default port for receiving SMTP? Also, is there a way to test this and report it back to the user - me? Right...

Okay, thanks. Might I suggest for the next version that there be some way to know its working? :D edit: I clicked the button this morning, but do not see any 'email invalid' log messages. I'm 100% sure there are invalid email addresses in there.

When I click 'validate email addresses', is it going to go through every email address? How do I know its working?

I'd think "Your server must allow outgoing connections on port 25" would be clearer. The word accept makes me think inbound connections, but maybe that's just me. And since AWS doesn't allow EC2 instances out on 25, it seems I can't use that part of the plugin. Guess I need to do external email...

I'm confused as to what this does and also its warning. First, without this enabled, will the addon still attempt to validate email addresses before actually sending the message? Second, the wording here doesn't make sense, "Your server must accept outgoing connections on port 25". Accept...

Very odd. Okay, I'll do some more testing. Clearly its on my side, any suggestions on where to look?

Yes. And I think the issue is that its not deducting the points immediately.

It was indeed off. What's the reasoning for that being off by default, if you don't mind me asking? edit: It still isn't deducting purchases from the Shop.

I've had this addon (as well as the Shop) installed for many years - but disabled. This week I decided to try it out again, but it seems there's an issue. Although I have several events enabled, I don't see credits going up. Also, credits are not being deducted for items purchased in the Shop...

Simplify the experience by allowing items to be instantly purchased when clicking the 'purchase' button. And of note, the 'purchase' button is a misnomer. I think it should probably say 'add to cart' by default.

Yeah, there is no way to configure it for the sender. IMHO, this would be an awesome addition. ;)

But that allows the receiver to set the title correct? I'm hoping to be able to have the sender assign the title.
