Extension Overview

ExtraMail is engineered specifically as a native extension for modern Joomla installations. It takes complete advantage of the Joomla 5/6 framework architecture, strictly avoiding legacy behaviors, non-standard library bundlers, or obfuscated code.

Maintain complete ownership of your subscriber lists inside Joomla while routing transactional and marketing emails through high-reputation delivery gateways like Postmark, Brevo, Mailgun, and Amazon SES.

Features double opt-in verification forms, subscriber tagging, segmentation by user group or purchase history, and automated unsubscribe suppression lists. Never risk server blacklisting by trying to blast marketing emails from unauthenticated shared hosting.

1-Click Native Joomla Updates (Download IDs)

Like all Codextra extensions, ExtraMail integrates directly with the official Joomla Update Manager using Download IDs (DLID):

# Configuring 1-Click Updates in Joomla 5.x / 6.x:
1. Go to: Joomla Admin → System → Update Sites
2. Locate: "ExtraMail Update Site"
3. Enter your 32-character Download ID in the "Download Key" field
4. Click "Save & Close"

When an update is released, Joomla will alert you in the administrator dashboard, allowing 1-click upgrades with SHA-256 integrity verification.
