What is SMTP and Why my WordPress Site Needs It
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a communication protocol to transfer emails over the Internet. Sending WordPress emails can sometimes be problematic as you can wind up banned or blocked by mail gateways.
You also need to count on the server your WordPress site is installed on and be sure it is configured properly to handle outgoing emails. The WordPress default uses the PHP mail() function or the PHP wp_mail() function leading to trouble sending mail successfully.
The Importance of a SMTP Server
A lot of WordPress hosting providers have email servers that are not configured the right way for sending PHP emails. These hosting server issues can cause a variety of email sending problems such as delays and interruptions, damaging your business communication.
Consider our Email Gateway WordPress Plugin as a middleman between WordPress and an SMTP server. You simply point it to the desired SMTP server and the Gateway plugin bypasses the WordPress Mail Function and connects you to your desired SMTP host.
Setting up an SMTP GatewayUpon installing the Email Tools WP Mail SMTP Mailer plugin, you are communicating directly through a defined authorized SMTP service gateway and bypassing your server while solving potential issues which might result in your sent mail being blocked, marked as spam or not being sent.You should configure your SMTP host, SMTP port, choose SSL / TLS encryption, define your SMTP username and password, SMTP authentication, define the mail header and mail priority. The SMTP Plugin also includes an SMTP testing tool to test the SMTP status and that it's performing as expected. |
