> My favorite Email Service Provider has launched a new service for tracking
> transactional emails.  Mandrillapp.
>
> https://mandrillapp.com/
>
> Transactional emails are all those system emails sent for password resets,
> new user confirmation links, order checkouts, etc.
>
> And beating me to the punch, there is an EXTREMELY nifty plugin from
> Compojoom:
>
> https://compojoom.com/about/blog/entry/mandrill-for-joomla-say-hello-to-transactional-emails
>
> Sign up for an account with mandrillapp, install and configure the plugin,
> and not only do transactional emails get routed through mandrillapp - they
> will also be taked with the component and task called that sent the email!
>  If there is a failure from Mandrillapp[say your above your initial limit
> of 25 messages/hour] then it falls back to using the regular Joomla mailer
> functions.
>
> Extremely nifty to give you some added insight into those persistent
> client problems:
> User X tried to register but never got a confirmation email...[check the
> mandrill dashboard, find the email, and discover it was bounced back!]
>
> Or "Why can't user Y reset their password?"
> Check the log and see that not only was the password reset link sent but
> the user even opened the email!  They just didn't actually CLICK the link
> to reset the password.
