DKIM and Callback function for PHPMailer
We are working on a major release of PHPMailer, and a new PHPMailer Lite. Two major new features are coming.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is now an adopted standard for Yahoo, Gmail, and AOL. To understand the impact of DKIM on getting into the inbox of your Yahoo, Gmail, AOL and other users, read through the DKIM FAQ.
Along with PHPMailer (and PHPMailer Lite) we will be providing a utility to:
- create DKIM Private key
- create DKIM Public key
- create DNS Resource Record entry
- create PHPMailer resource code for your scripts
The "Create DKIM Keys" utility will include a form to fill in your domain, email identity, DNS resource record selector, and passphrase for the DKIM keys.
The second major feature of PHPMailer is support for callback function. The results of each email send transaction will be passed to a callback function that you control entirely. The parameters passed include success flag, recipient, cc, bcc, subject, and email body. Based on receiving these parameters in your callback function, you can easily pass the results as an echo back to the screen, build CSV logs, update database records, etc. The possibilities are endless and provide you total control. Example callback functions will be included in the release. Think of it -- immediate feedback on sending status, plus all the information to update your databases.
Release date is fairly soon, anyone wanting to beta test prior to launch (with commitments to feedback in a timely manner) can contact me.
