auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Automatically picks the outgoing email server whose login matches the sender address, so each user's mail is sent through their own SMTP account.
This module makes Odoo choose the outgoing mail server based on who the email is from. When an email is about to be sent, Odoo looks for an outgoing mail server whose login (the SMTP user) is the same as the sender's email address. If one is found, that server is used instead of the default one.
This happens in three common situations:
- When Odoo sends an email directly through the mail server engine (ir.mail_server).
- When an email record (mail.mail) is sent.
- When a message posted on a document (for example, a sales order or a project task) notifies followers by email (mail.thread).
In each case, the sender's email address is normalised and compared with the login of existing outgoing mail servers. If a match is found and it is not already the server set on the email, the email is switched to that server.
There are no new menus, screens, or settings. The module only changes the automatic selection of the outgoing server. To use it, you must already have outgoing mail servers configured with the correct SMTP login for each sender address. If no server matches, Odoo keeps the server that was already selected, so nothing breaks.
