Sendy will not track bounced email address when sending emails via any SMTP server. It only works when if you hook it with AWS SES.
As I'm using SMTP which is hosted on a Linux server along with IMAP, POP3.
I sent thousands of mail using that SMTP and Sendy is not counting Bounced addresses while I checked my mailbox and there was thousands of undelivered mail.
Is there any way to make it count for Sendy SMTP?
I saw this image in Google, Don't know how to make it.
The image you found does not appear to be part of Sendy -- it appears to be from this third party product. It's not entirely clear.
What it seems to do is connect to your mailbox (the one you showed, with the bounces) using the POP3 mail fetching protocol... and read those bounce messages.
The web site seems to imply that this vendor wants access to your server and will install their products for you, which seems like a very dubious practice, so proceed with caution.

I have a mock domain name: dev.chacchan.ml
I've configured SPF and DKIM to ensure nobody can use my SMTP credential to send mail outside SES
This is my DNS config:
How can I send mail from outside SES to validate my configures are working correctly with an expected result is e-mail being blocked
Whether an email is delivered depends on many factors, in particular the configuration of the receiving mail server and the reputation of the sender. It is thus really difficult to isolate individual factors with tests.
Make sure you also have a valid DMARC record with a reject policy. Afterwards, you can test your configuration with a tool such as mail-tester.com. Alternatively, you can interpret the Authentication-Results header field, which your personal mailbox provider likely adds to incoming emails, yourself.
There are no guarantees that not-authenticated emails are blocked by receiving mail servers. Configuring SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly is the best you can do as a sender.
My main goal is to setup an email address for my server to use for sending emails only.
I did some research, and it looked like Amazon Simple Email Server and/or Amazon Workmail could provide me with what I needed. I've gotten as far as setting up SES and Workmail so that I can set my server to be able to send emails. However, I saw that once the Workmail inbox is full (50GB), the account would be unable to send emails. Given that this is going to be used by the server and not a human, I didn't want the inbox to get filled with auto replies, spam, or failed to send messages, and then be unable to send emails. So, I went looking for a way to either:
A) prevent emails from being received and stored in the inbox
B) a rule I could setup to delete anything that didn't match the company domain
C) be able to read the inbox and delete email messages using the AWS CLI, and I'd setup my own script to manage how and what was deleted when
So far I haven't had any luck.
Again, I'm not particular how I achieve the goal, but I do preferably need to find a way to have an email address for a server to use exclusively for sending messages. I worry that if I leave it to employees to remember to login and clear the inbox, someone will forget, and then the server will stop sending emails.
Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not well versed in email protocols; could I setup the address to return a bounce back always, and that would prevent it from receiving emails into it's inbox?
How are you generating these emails? If you are generating them programmatically (via an app/script), you may not need to set up a server. If you just route the outgoing mail through your app to SNS, the emails will be valid, however, there will be no "inbox" for incoming mail and they will just be dumped. This way you don't have to actually worry about an inbox getting full as it will just drop anything coming in.

In order to receive emails though SNS, you have to go through the setup linked above, but if you do not set this up, then emails will just bounce. At least, that is how I have been doing it.
My Django application sends email out to users. On localhost, it was using my gmail account that i set via settings.py. However, when porting the app onto Openshift, all the headers were ignored. Instead of using the application from, reply-to email addresses, email coming from application on Openshift is FROM no-reply#rhcloud.com and no Reply-to email address.
Here is what I later found:
All e-mails routed through our servers have their From header rewritten. This will continue to function this way until we support e-mail as an "official" feature. Relaying through an external mail server should not overwrite this header." by Sumana Annam, Red Hat, Inc.
https://www.openshift.com/forums/openshift/sending-email-from-jboss-by-defect-the-from-is-no-replyrhcloudcom
Does anyone find a way of sending email from Openshift where the email header does not get rewritten?
Greatly appreciate any help/direction.
The official answer is that you would need to use a third party library to remove the no-reply#rhcloud.com. There is no way to change that header on email that is relayed through openshift's email servers.
I have a django app on heroku an using sendgrid.
I have gotten messages from a number of users with gmail email addresses saying that they have not received their validation emails after registering to use the site.
I tested it myself, and found that while emails with other addresses go through instantly, but for some gmail accounts it is not going through.
In the sendgrid dashboard, however, it says that all the emails have been delivered.
Can someone tell me what the issue here is? Is gmail blocking emails from my site? It just started happening these last two days. And we're not really sending out that many emails (10 or so a day)
Do the Emails end up in a spam folder, or do they truly disappear?
What kind of plan are you on at SendGrid? If you have your own dedicated IP, have you followed the guidelines on 'warming up' that IP address? Might also want to review the content of the message with SendGrid support, see if they can make any recommendations.
Emails end up in the spam folder. Whenever an email was sent from Heroku, Sendgrid to #gmail accounts, they were viewed as spam by Gmail.
I have the same problem and did not find a solution yet.
I am having problems with google mail with a coldfusion webform, when the form gets sent the reply address is always myemail#myemail.com (substituted). Is this a google mail thing or is there a fix?
<cfmail
from = "#email#"
To = "myemail#myemail.com"
failto="#email#"
server="smtp.gmail.com"
replyto="#email#"
port="465"
useSSL="true"
username="myemail#myemail.com"
password="*****"
Subject = "Confirmation Form"
>
<cfmailparam name="Reply-To" value="#email#">
I don't believe Google Mail allows you to send mail from an address not tied to the account.
I would suggest, regardless of the SMTP server you use, using a real address tied to that domain for the "from" attribute. Set the reply-to and on-behalf-of (I think I got that right) headers to the email of the person "sending" the message.
I will give you one warning about sending lots of automated mail through Google. I was working on a project, and was told to use Google mail to send out a large amount of email. After about a day, they stopped sending out any mail on that account.... but accepted the mail. That is, their SMTP server told CF that the mail had been accepted, then trashed it instead of sending. I'd strongly suggest running your own SMTP server if you send more than a couple dozen emails a day.
I can't remember about personal accounts, but sending mail through Google Apps definitely allows customized Reply To, and this works with replyto attribute of cfmail -- without cfmailparam. Possibly it is the way to handle this problem.
