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. Additionally, it's crucial to consider the configuration of the server hosting your WordPress site, ensuring it is properly set up 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
Sending Test Email |
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. |
Setting up an SMTP Gateway
|
Upon 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. |

The plugin can log every outgoing email. This will help you to easily monitor if there any issues with delivering your emails. |
