What it does
By default, WordPress sends email in a way that many mail servers treat with suspicion, so messages can land in spam or never arrive. This plugin reconfigures the WordPress emailing system to use the SMTP settings of a third-party provider such as SendLayer, SMTP.com or Brevo. Emails are authenticated properly, which helps protect your sending reputation and lowers the chance of being blacklisted. A setup wizard walks you through connecting a provider.
Once mail is flowing, the plugin gives you ways to watch and manage it. An email log records every message your site sends, reports chart deliverability, and open and click tracking shows how recipients engage. You can add a backup connection as a failover, route different types of email through different providers with conditional rules, and get alerts when a message fails. It fits any WordPress site where missed email causes real problems, from online stores to client sites run by agencies.
Best for
- Online stores that depend on order and receipt emails
- Agencies managing email delivery across client WordPress sites
- Sites with contact forms whose notices land in spam
