RadarAddress – Clean Newsletter List for AcyMailing

Every newsletter sent to an address that does not exist bounces, and too many bounces hurt the delivery of the ones that do exist. A subscriber who wrote gmial.com instead of gmail.com is a reader you lost without knowing it. RadarAddress for AcyMailing checks the email addresses of your AcyMailing subscribers, without leaving AcyMailing. At sign-up. Every new subscriber is checked while the form is sent: a certain typo is corrected (gmial.com → gmail.com), an address that cannot receive mail can be refused if you want. If RadarAddress does not answer, the subscription goes through as usual: nobody is ever lost because of us. In bulk. Choose a list and start the check: the addresses are verified in the background and the outcome is written to each subscriber, even for lists of tens of thousands of addresses. You see how many are to check, how many already have an outcome and how many operations you have available before you start. What you get

• Three custom fields on every subscriber: outcome, original email (when it was corrected), date of the check. Use them in AcyMailing filters and segments.
• Certain typos corrected, with the original kept; uncertain ones proposed, never applied.
• Optional: refuse at sign-up the addresses that cannot receive mail, or unsubscribe them from the lists you choose after a bulk check.
• In AcyMailing automations: an action that verifies the subscribers matching your filters, and a filter on the outcome.
• Interface in thirteen languages (English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Icelandic, Greek).

How it works

1. Create a free account on radaraddress.com: every month a number of checks is free.
2. Create an API token in your personal area.
3. In AcyMailing → Add-ons, open the RadarAddress settings, paste the token and press «Verify».

Beyond the free checks of the month, packs and monthly subscriptions are on radaraddress.com. The plugin itself is free.

1.1.5

• Each verification tells the service which form and page it came from (X-RadarAddress-Form-Page and X-RadarAddress-Form headers), so it shows up in the service log.

1.1.4

• Uninstalling removes all the add-on settings, on WordPress and on Joomla alike; outcomes and custom fields stay.
• The account settings say the same as in the other RadarAddress plugins, with a link to get a free token.

1.1.3

• Uninstalling on WordPress also removes the «Service» setting.

1.1.2

• The account is no longer created from the add-on settings (it was in 1.1.0): the token is pasted, as before.
• A «Service» menu above the token (today RadarAddress only).

1.0.13

• Settings: the help text of each switch opens right below its icon (it opened far from it).

1.0.12

• Settings: the help icons next to the switches show again with AcyMailing 11, which displayed them as code.
• Bulk check: when the results of a job have just been collected, the count above is updated (it still said «already with an outcome: 0» and proposed only part of the subscribers).

1.0.11

• Bulk check: «only the first», chosen by itself when the credit does not cover everyone, goes back to «all of them» when it does; a choice made by hand stays.

1.0.10

• Counts are written as «label: number» in every language, so they read correctly with any number (no more «1 subscribers»).

1.0.9

• The outcome field is always written in English, on every site and with the administration in any language: one word for each outcome, to filter on. Values already written in another language are rewritten once.

1.0.8

• Bulk check: who (all, a list, an AcyMailing segment), in which order (newest or oldest subscribers, most or least active, latest or oldest open or click, latest or oldest login to the site on Joomla) and how many: all, only the first N, or, with a subscription to light checks, a few at a time every month, with a monthly and an overall limit and a button to stop it. When the credit does not cover everyone, the check proposes the part it covers or a pack instead of stopping.
• The installed version is shown in the settings and in the bulk check window.
• The bulk check keeps following a running job: after the start, after reopening the window and after a missed reply, with the start button disabled until the job is done.
• The outcome field is written in one language for the whole site (the administrator's), also for sign-ups from the public site; outcomes already written in another language are rewritten once, and the counts no longer show the same outcome twice.

1.0.7

• The WordPress package contains only WordPress code: HTTP calls through the WordPress HTTP API, dates, temporary files and file deletion through WordPress functions; the job results are read with SplFileObject.

1.0.6

• The automation action and the outcome filter are always declared, with no check on the AcyMailing edition; the action is no longer offered in AcyMailing scenarios, which would run it one subscriber at a time.

1.0.5

• Registered through the AcyMailing integrations hook (AcyMailing 10 or later): the add-on stays in the plugin folder, nothing is copied elsewhere. Calls through the WordPress HTTP API. An installation of an earlier version is converted by AcyMailing, settings kept.

1.0.4

• If the site keys change, the saved token is no longer read as random characters: it is treated as missing and asked again.

1.0.3

• Works on Joomla 6 without the backward compatibility plugin (same code as the WordPress plugin).

1.0.2

• One click on «Start the check» starts it; the count also says how many subscribers the list has, how many already have an outcome and how many operations are available.

1.0.1

• Wider settings card; the browser no longer offers saved passwords in the token field.

1.0.0

• First release: bulk check of subscribers with the outcome in a custom field, certain typos corrected, optional unsubscription, check at sign-up, automation action and filter.
