AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP SMTP Config is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by pCoLaSD — established developer track record
Cons
- −Average rating below 4.0 (3.0★) — read recent low-star reviews before committing

How WP SMTP Config works
This plugin configures WordPress and WordPress MU to use a SMTP server when sending emails instead of the default PHP mail() function.
You will configure your SMTP settings in your wp-config.php file instead of the settings page.
The advantage is that no admin of your blog can read the settings.
And you only have to place your settings once in cases of a WordPress MU installation.
A sample configuration:
/** * WordPress SMTP server */ define('WP_SMTP_HOST', 'mail.example.com'); define('WP_SMTP_PORT', 25); // obligatory - default: 25 define('WP_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'); // obligatory ('tls' or 'ssl') - default: no encryption define('WP_SMTP_USER', 'username'); // obligatory - default: no user define('WP_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'password'); // obligatory - default: no password define('WP_SMTP_FROM', 'John Doe <[email protected]>'); // obligatory - default: no custom from address define('WP_SMTP_REPLYTO', 'Jane Doe <[email protected]>'); // obligatory - default: no custom reply to address
