I have setup a delivery server for "Postmarkapp" using the API route and the API has been confirmed as OK.

Postmarkapp have different "Mailing Streams", 'Broadcast', 'Inbound' & 'Broadcast' the default send stream being 'Transactional'. I have setup a new 'Broadcast' stream and need to be able to direct campaigns through that stream the php direction would be - $messageStream = "mw-broadcast-stream" - is this to be included in 'Additional Headers' in the Delivery Server setup and if so what format please.

Any wisdom in this area would be appreciated, thanks
 
For some reason, Postrmark handles Transaction and Campaign emails separately, if you don't handle them separately, they can be blocked (I ran into that :)).
Unfortunately, this means that you have to set up 2 delivery servers, and two values change:


- Use for: Campaigns:
Addition headers: X-PM-Message-Stream: broadcast

- Use for: Transactional emails:
Addition headers: X-PM-Message-Stream: outbound

Server Settings:
/servers/XXXXXX/settings
On the server settings page, you may want to turn on Open tracking / Link tracking

broadcast/outbound server Webhook settings: (https://account.postmarkapp.com/servers/XXXXXXX/streams/broadcast/webhooks)
Add a new one, then here you need to enter the URL from the MW delivery server page.
However, if you check everything, it will seriously grab the newsletter server for processing many requests. It is also an experience.
Bounce, Spam complaint and Subscription change have been checked.


I hope you get started :)

Thanks 'Morgens' sorted it all out just before your post and now signed up with Postmark are giving great service
 
Morning, I have just setup postmarkapp in addition to Amazon SES for MW, got the PM account verified and went to send first test broadcast and all 4 subscribers say "giveup" in the log, I can see 2x transactional emails in PM activity log which are the delivery server verification message but the broadcast app has zero activity. Followed the above steps, didnt have a second delivery server but do now.

On the comment for the webhook, "add a new one, then here you need to enter the URL from the MW delivery server page", i cant see any URL from the MW delivery server page where is this specified, or you mean the page URL in the MW application itself? Customer or backend? If you can assist it would be much appreciated.

"However, if you check everything, it will seriously grab the newsletter server for processing many requests. It is also an experience. Bounce, Spam complaint and Subscription change have been checked." yes I had read this in another place otherwise the MW server gets bombarded.

Thanks.

Try to edit your delivery server and click the info button from that page, it should show you the info you need.

I don't understand what this means.

Can you open a support ticket with your delivery server details and tag @laurentiu so he can test this?
 
Thank you thank you, that was exactly it. I always forget about the information button on MW I was looking for the information in the page itself, my mistakae and apologies for wastign your time. All good, emails tested and sent perfectly now. Much faster and easier to setup than Amazon SES.
