Email deliverability is an important factor for everyday business communication. Eliminate problems sending emails in WordPress by using our mail Gateway plugin. It makes the process of sending and managing emails easier than ever.
Simple SMTP Configuration
A lightweight WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin that reconfigures the inbuilt wp_mail()function.
The WordPress Mail SMTP plugin is the best solution to handle all your outgoing emails which are sent from your WordPress site via a WP MAIL SMTP gateway with SMTP authentication.
The email gateway plugin supports sending email in WordPress via a preferred SMTP server. You can define several SMTP service gateway profiles and choose the active one.
What Is SMTP?
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 problems such as delays and interruptions. This can have a huge detrimental affect on 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.
