can emails go out to all addresses? (not just to primary one)
December 01, 2008, 01:14:24 pm
Hey,

We have members who maintain that so much mail is blocked by spam filters, they need to join twice so that each mailing can go to each of their two email addresses -- in the hope that one email will get through.

How big a deal would it be to add the option, at the contact level, "send bulk mail to all addresses"?

Thanks,

Donald Lobo

I dont think it will be too big a deal. you'll need to tweak a few queries in CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php, function getRecipients

if you need help, ping us on IRC. please publish your changes when done

A somewhat similar feature would be to have the option to list additional email addresses and telephone numbers in the "Print" report.

Hi Lobo,

Netvigator and I are in the same organisation and we are still struggling with the resourcing required to upgrade. If we did modify the code as you suggested, Rob would most likely be doing it but it hasn't been decided yet.

Is this feature now available in the latest release?

Dennis

hey dennis:

good to know that :) That feature is not available in the current or forthcoming release, so it will have to be new code. There might be some ramifications in the code with regard to multiple email addresses for the same contact id and being able to differentiate across different email addresses etc

Our organisation has individual, household and corporate members. While these are all single entities for surface mail we would like to communicate to the memebrs of a household, or of a corporate member by email. It is not clear from this discussion that is yet possible.

Yes it is possible. the above discussion was related to sending email to the "additional" emails of any contact. We send email to the primary email of a contact (whether it is individual, household or organization)
