I must send the newsletters through an SMTP server. However, the Mime Mail and the HTML Mail modules won't work with an SMTP server.

I'm currently using SMTP module to send e-mails and it works with other modules, but with Simplenews I can't choose the HTML option because Mime Mail and HTML Mail are not installed.

Is there any way to enable HTML mails with the SMTP module? Any other alternatives?

Thank you.

The Mimemail compatibility is not complete in 7.x-1.x.
But in 6.x, I managed to have Simplenews + Mimemail + SMTP working without any issue.

Thank you Simon. How do you setup Mimemail + SMTP? Still no UI elements on D7? Because I can't see any options to do that.

For now, Mimemail support is pretty much broken in 7.x, this will come back in the upcoming weeks, as soon as I find some time (see #1048254: Support Mime Mail on Drupal 7 or #1090016: Newsletter sent when Mail system set to Standard / not when set to Mime mail).

Have you tried Jango SMTP? They are pretty flexible and may be able to help.

I am using 6.x with Simplenews + Mimemail + SMTP.

I tried "Send one test newsletter to the test address" but failed. I am using Mime Mail and have it set to SMTP. What do I do?

Any help would be appreciated!

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

@earth1, does the test mail of SMTP module works ? The error seems to be SMTP-related more than Simplenews-related.

@Simon, I see. I just wanted to make sure it was not simplenews. I don't have any problems with SMTP.

Thanks.

As a feature request: Simplenews won't add this feature.
A module like Mailsystem might add this feature to choose a different formatter from sender.
http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem

This pluggability should be introduced by core, not again by each mailsystem in a custom way...

Finally as a support request, you have a bunch of suggestions now.

mailsystem actually already provides this feature, but in a rather complex way (by generating a new class and writing that to the file system).
