I am using 8.0.1 SP1.
I have not been able to find a definitive answer for this so far. Does the messaging server control have an option for notifying the user via email that a message has been sent to them? Email is set up for the site and working. In my site, I have community notifications set to email in my profile. I have ek_EnableMessageBoardEmail set to true in web.config. I do realize that there is a difference between message board and the messaging server control but I am trying everything. Is this possible without coding the functionality? If not, can someone point me toward some starter code?
I also posted this question at http://dev.ektron.com/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=41480
Thanks.

No this is not possible. The Ektron Messaging control can only send internal messages within the CMS to other users. The server control produces markup that looks a bit like it might be email but it is not.
The Messaging control does have the ability to send an email to a community group but not individual users.
See Ektron's documentation here.
You will have to code your own custom solution to this.

I need to set up series of emails with time delays in mailgun.
I'm not sure this is possible without connecting to a CRM like ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, etc.
If it's possible, can anyone share how it works?
Thanks in advance.
Mailgun is a transactional email service that gives you the ability to send emails from your own web applications. If you want to create a drip campaign like you mentioned, you’d have to add such logic to your web application either through a cron-like task or similar.
There is Mailjet from the same company that offers email automation (another name for drip emails). While I don’t have hands on experience with Mailjet like I do Mailgun, it should be a WYSIWYG interface like what you’re interested in.
At the end of the day it really comes down to what you’re after. Do you want to add email sending to your own applications where you design every aspect of the sending and scheduling logic, or do you want a tool available and ready to go.
Best,
According To Scott Hanselman's blog post you can disable "reply-all" in your emails with a macro. I have tested this and it is also possible to disable this action with the developer tools in that are built into outlooks form editor.
It obviously only works in Outlook desktop to outlook desktop scenarios. However, when I inspect the email body or use outlookspy I can't see any thing in the message or exchange responses that would indicate that "reply-all" is disabled.
How is it possible for the receiver's client to know that reply-all is disabled? I expected some header, hidden attachment or even some trickery of exchange server, but I can't seem to find anything that explains what could be happening. I would like to replicate this functionality (in my internal corporate network) making "reply"/"reply-all"/"forward" disabled for all of our automated messages, truly making "no-reply" mean NO REPLY.
Disabling various actions on a message only works locally - the recipients do not see that information and their email client would be under no obligation to honor that request even if it was present.
You can of course use Information Right Management (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/information-rights-management?view=exchserver-2019), but it is not quite the same.
I've seen something like this in GitHub blog:
The question is: How to send a system messaget (the one with green background)? I really want to send deploy message that way, it would really help our team chat. Or is it all userscripts? :(
I have a 8.0.2SP1 site with a system blog. The client wants to know what the subscribe button does but I can't find a description in the documentation. Right now when someone clicks to subscribe, they get an option for all posts or all comments -- that part makes sense but it seems to do nothing. The client is expecting an email if a new post is added. I can see in the documentation how community blogs work (by default it updates activity feed). I can find in the profile settings where you can specify delivery method for Group blogs and Colleague blogs. But no settings for system blogs.
Q: What does subscribing to a system blog do?
Q: Are there profile-level settings for how the system handles notifications for system blogs?
Subscribing to a blog will alert someone when a new post has been made. Subscribing to a specific post will allow the user to be notified if comments have been posted. These settings assume that you have setup an smtp server (relay) in your web.config. Under the hood there's no major differences between a blog you create under a regular folder, or a group/user. For setting the alerts on the root level blogs you should see a "web alerts" tab under the blog's properties
According to this blog post the new messaging system should be accessible via the API (fql/graph) for non developer account as of end of November. It still gives OAuthException with message "You must be a developer of the application".
I was unable to find any updates on this issue from Facebook or other sources. Anyone knows what is going on with this and when will it be accessible?
There was a bug opened on the subject, anyone who has interest in this might consider promoting it.
Going to answer my own question, according to the response on the bug seems like the official answer is:
"We said it would be published but it wasn't, so just wait until we say it will be published again".
Are you trying to read messages or send them? It's still not possible to send them but reading them should work for any app now
