I use simple SMTP settings to send emails from my app with Mandrill. Mandrill however hijacks the links and injects its own URLs so that link is rerouted via their servers. That results with user seeing the mandrill URL in their browser before going to the the right page. Any way to turn that off?
I looked through the settings and could not find it.
Also it's simple to disable click-tracking for individual link by mc:disable-tracking parameter.
<a href="//example.com" mc:disable-tracking>
Click here to confirm your email
</a>
The extra parameter will be removed when the email is sent, and no click-tracking will be applied to this link.
See: documentation.
There's an option on the Sending Defaults page in your account that is for click-tracking (should be a drop down menu, near the top, just below the checkbox for tracking opens). What you select there will be the default option applied to all messages, unless you provide a different per-message setting for click-tracking. With SMTP, you can set click-tracking on a per-message basis using custom SMTP headers. More information about using SMTP headers to customize this can be found in the Mandrill KB here.

In Api Management Service, when someone subscribes to an Api, they gey a mail from a no-reply address. By default, this mail is something like "apim-noreply#mail.windowsazure.com", I changed this in de settings to "no-reply#myorganization.com".
But now when a user receives an email, both these addresses are listed as the sender address. How do I fix it to only display my custom address and remove the default one (circled in red)?
I tried looking in the mail templates to see if it was present there, but it wasn't.
I tried finding a solution in Microsoft documentation but couldn't find anything.
I understand that you wanted to change the "Mailfrom" header to a value of your choice. Currently it is not possible. The "MailFrom" header contains information about the actual sender of the email since APIM sends the mail you will not be able to remove apim-noreply#mail.windowsazure.com due to security issues.
Currently having an issue with order confirmation emails not sending.
I have looked at various forums / solutions and these haven't worked.
My existing setup is using the MagePlaza SMTP to send email using Mandrill, this is working through their test function and also the Forgotten Password and Create account emails are being sent but not the Order Confirmation emails.
I am using IWD One Step checkout but have also disabled this to try with Magento default checkout and it doesn't work using either.
Asyncronous sending is set to disabled but I have also tried with it enabled. Both times no order emails are sent.
As I'm using Mandrill I have checked their API logs and the API request isn't being sent.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
It's possible that the "From" address is wrong.
Goto Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Store Email Addresses and check if "Sales Representative" Email address is correct.
There is known bug in Magento 2.2.4/2.2.5/2.2.6 and you might be afected by it:
https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/14952.
TLDR: There is no from data set on email transaction and messeges aren't sending at all.

Since Mailchimp is taking over the billing and management of Mandrill accounts, does this mean that any sending domain I wish to send to via Mandrill also needs to be a verified sending domain in MailChimp?
I cannot find a clear answer on what will happen come the 27th when the legacy mandrill accounts will be suspended.
You won't need to verify in both Mandrill and MailChimp at this time. But depending on when your account was created, you may need to perform an additional verification step.
In Mandrill, go to the Sending Domains page in your account. Be sure there are three checkmarks for each of the sending domains you want to continue using (like the second one shown below).
If you don't see the third checkmark (like the first line), click the button (top right of the table) that says "Verify A Domain" to generate the verification email.
I have two email accounts. One of them I use every day. The other one, I have to fire up a VPN, authenticate through a firewall, and then run Outlook Web Access. Triple-yuck.
I'd like to set up a rule that says "Whenever I receive an email to annoyingaccount#company.com, send an email to mydailyaccount#myworkplace.com letting me know to check annoyingaccount." I do not want am not allowed to forward the actual email to mydailyaccount. I simply want a notice that email is waiting for me.
I see options that will let me forward the email or send a text message, but I don't see an option to just send a boilerplate email. Is there something I'm missing, or a "trick" I need to do, or am I just out of luck?
There is not an option like this in the Rules Wizard.
You can forward the email to your account and use rules to:
File the AnnoyingAccount email in a folder (so it is out of the way)
Display an a custom message in your MyDailyAccount email.
Take a look at the the display a specific message in the New Item Alert window option found on the 2nd screen of the Rules Wizard.
Here is a quick How To:

I have developed a website in joomla, and I have a contact us page, in that the form works fine only when I use to send an email from the same domain
Eg :
From : rimaz#abcd.com
To : john#abcd.com
But when I send to a different domain the form gives an error as "Could not instantiate mail function."
Eg :
From : rimaz#abcd.com
To : john#gmail.com
Can anyone explain me about this problem ??
Instead of debugging your providers SMTP / email setup you can use the new mandrill service from the guys who do mailchimp - Mandrill ( http://blog.mailchimp.com/public-beta-of-mandrill-smtp-email-service/ ) with the plugin :
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/mailing-a-distribution-lists/20624
Mandrill is a plugin that allows your Joomla installation to send transactional emails. The only thing you need to do is to provide your Mandrill API key and enable the plugin. After that all emails (new user registration, password reset etc) will be send through the Mandrill service.
Mandrill Features:
Uses MailChimp's awesome email delivery engine instead of your server
Tracks opens and clicks so you know how effective these emails are to your users . Now you can > see what you need to change to make them
more effective.
Has pretty, visual reports of the email results
Allows you to tag the emails and see your stats filtered by tag
Why would understanding transactional emails be important for you. An example is when a user signs > up on your site an email is sent via Joomla. But, you get no reports to understand how effective that email did. These emails are sent as instructions to your users telling them a message you want them to understand. Where they designed good? Was the content well written? Was it structured properly? This is hard to say when it goes thru Joomla but now you will understand all this when the emails goes thru Mandrill.
This is a setting from your host. YOu can ask them for help in figuring out how to make it work, but they are trying to prevent you from using their hosting to spam people.
Sometimes it is possible to work around it but not always.
This usually happens due to restrictive mail server settings, which you most likely don't have influence on with shared hosting.
If you have more control over the server, you should fix the mail server settings.
If not, the easiest way is to use Joomla's ability to send mails using any SMTP mail account. Create a mail account for Joomla, and enter the credentials in Joomla's configuration. Joomla will then use that account to send mails. So will extensions, if they are properly written.
