Casa Mail vs WP Mail Logging

Casa Mail is an end-to-end email platform for WordPress sites. It intercepts every wp_mail() call and delivers it through the Casa Mail gateway operated by CodeCasa Studios on the OnlineStoreNotifications infrastructure (api.onlinestorenotifications.com). On top of reliable transactional delivery it adds a full marketing platform, branded webmail mailboxes, and one-click sender-domain authentication, all driven from the WordPress admin. If your site doesn’t send mail reliably today, Casa Mail is the simplest way to start. If you’re already paying for an SMTP plugin plus a separate marketing tool plus a separate webmail provider, Casa Mail consolidates the three so you can run customer email, broadcasts, and inbox replies from one place. What you get Transactional email (every plan, including Free) Every wp_mail() is routed through the Casa Mail gateway with DKIM, SPF, and aligned Return-Path on onlinestorenotifications.com (or your own domain after one-click authentication). Durable retry outbox: if the gateway is briefly unreachable, the payload is persisted and retried automatically with 30s, 2m, 10m backoff. wp_mail() never blocks, never loses a message, never returns false to the caller. Per-tenant inbox at @onlinestorenotifications.com. Replies to your customer emails come back to that inbox; on the Free tier they auto-forward to your contact address. On webmail-enabled plans you can also receive replies on your own domain (e.g. @yourdomain.com). Paginated send log on the Logs page with up to 30 days of history retained (hard-capped at 2,000 rows per WordPress install). The Dashboard surfaces the most recent activity at a glance. Optional default-From override so every site email uses one consistent sender. Sender domain authentication (every plan) Add your own domain in the admin and the plugin prints three DNS records (DKIM, SPF, Return-Path). One-click “Check my domain” verifier. Once verified, customer emails go from @yourdomain.com so Gmail and Outlook show your brand in the From, not “via onlinestorenotifications.com”. Inline plain-English helpers for Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Google Domains. Cloudflare grey-cloud guidance for replies is built in. Free plan can opt out of domain authentication entirely and send from the shared @onlinestorenotifications.com address with DKIM/SPF/Return-Path already configured on the gateway. Marketing Studio (Growth and higher) Contacts: add manually, import from CSV, or one-click sync your WooCommerce customer base. Segments: saved queries (all contacts, contacts with a specific tag) with a sample-preview before you send. Campaigns: schedule a broadcast to a segment, watch send progress on a per-campaign report (sent, opens, unique-by-contact open + click rate). Composer: full block-based visual editor with heading / paragraph / image / button / divider / spacer / two-columns / raw-HTML blocks, per-block and global style settings, Visual / Source HTML / Wrapper / Preview tabs, desktop + mobile preview, 50-step undo/redo, emoji picker, drag-and-drop images into the WordPress media library, per-tenant saved templates. Personalization tokens: [FIRST_NAME], [LAST_NAME], [FULL_NAME], [EMAIL], [UNSUBSCRIBE_URL]. Suppressions: paginated list with bounce / complaint / unsubscribe filters, manual add, CSV export. Bounces and FBL complaints are fanned out from the gateway automatically so you never have to clean a list by hand. Casa Webmail mailboxes (Growth and higher) Self-hosted branded webmail at webmail.onlinestorenotifications.com. Sign in with @onlinestorenotifications.com from any browser and read and reply to customer replies from a clean inbox. Use your own domain too: point your domain’s MX records at mx.sendemailtoday.io and replies to @yourdomain.com land in the same webmail UI, signed by the platform DKIM. Real Maildir storage on the Casa Mail backbone. No third-party Gmail forwarding. Billing and plan management One-click upgrade from Free to Starter, Growth, Business, or Agency. Stripe Checkout opens in a new tab; the plugin never sees your card details. Paid plans are also available straight from the onboarding wizard, so you can start on the right tier from day one. In-WordPress quota-usage display with an “approaching cap” banner so a busy month doesn’t surprise you mid-send. Stripe-hosted billing portal for change-card, change-plan, view-invoices, cancel. Built-in trust and safety Sender-domain enforcement so a misconfigured WordPress install can never send under someone else’s domain by accident. Gateway-side content review on marketing broadcasts: a separate moderation layer scans campaigns and pauses anything that looks like phishing, brand impersonation, or credential harvesting before it reaches your recipients. The gateway operator reviews flagged content and contacts you with the reason. This protects your sender reputation. Pricing Free: 10,000 transactional emails per month, full quota from day one (no daily ramp), 500/day soft cap. Custom-domain authentication included. No credit card required. Starter (GBP 9/month): 25,000 emails per month, 2,500/day cap. Custom-domain authentication. Growth (GBP 29/month): 100,000 emails per month, Marketing Studio (contacts, segments, campaigns, visual editor, suppressions), 1 branded Casa Webmail mailbox. Business (GBP 79/month): 500,000 emails per month, Marketing Studio, 5 mailboxes. Agency (GBP 199/month): 2,000,000 emails per month, Marketing Studio, 25 mailboxes. Upgrades and downgrades are entirely self-serve from Settings -> Casa Mail -> Billing. Cancellation is one click from the Stripe-hosted portal; you keep service through the end of your billing cycle. How it works (transactional path) pre_wp_mail is hooked at priority 1. Each call is converted to a JSON payload and POSTed to the gateway. If the gateway accepts on the first POST, wp_mail() returns true and the message is durably enqueued upstream. If the gateway is unreachable on the first POST, the payload is written to a durable outbox table ( casamail_outbox) and a cron tick retries with 30s, 2m, 10m backoff. A separate transmit log table ( casamail_sends) records every attempt for visibility on the plugin dashboard. Rows older than 30 days are pruned automatically. Onboarding After activation, an in-WordPress wizard collects: Site name, site URL, contact email address. A 6-digit code emailed by the gateway to confirm the address. The handle to use for your inbox (defaults to a friendly version of your site URL, e.g. acmestore). Plan selection. Five tiers shown side-by-side (Free, Starter, Growth, Business, Agency); pick Free to get started immediately, or pick a paid tier to launch Stripe Checkout in a new tab. Either way your tenant is already provisioned so you can keep onboarding while you complete payment. Where customer emails should come from: the shared Casa Mail address, or your own authenticated domain (with one-click DNS verification). The whole onboarding is one screen with five short steps. No SMTP keys to copy, no DNS console to leave WordPress for. Trademark note This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce, Automattic, or any third party. The WooCommerce name appears only as a compatibility note (when WooCommerce is detected, the plugin’s admin menu attaches under it for convenience; otherwise it lands under Settings). External services This plugin transmits data to a third-party SMTP gateway. WordPress.org policy requires this be disclosed. Endpoints contacted The plugin makes HTTPS requests to: https://api.onlinestorenotifications.com/v1/onboard/request – during onboarding, to send your verification email. https://api.onlinestorenotifications.com/v1/onboard/verify – during onboarding, to confirm the code and provision an account. https://api.onlinestorenotifications.com/v1/send – for every wp_mail() call once the plugin is onboarded. https://api.onlinestorenotifications.com/v1/email/domain (GET / add / verify) – when the site administrator interacts with the Sender Domain page. https://api.onlinestorenotifications.com/v1/billing/* – checkout, billing portal, plan status. Only invoked when the site administrator interacts with the Billing page or picks a paid tier during onboarding. The gateway is operated by CodeCasa Studios under the Casa Mail brand and runs on the OnlineStoreNotifications infrastructure. Casa Mail and OnlineStoreNotifications are sister brands of the same company; the API hostname reflects the shared backbone rather than a third-party dependency. Data sent During onboarding (one-time, before any send): site administrator email address, site name, site URL. For each wp_mail() call once onboarded: sender email address, sender name, recipient email address(es), subject, message body, message headers (after stripping From/To/Subject/Date/Message-ID/MIME-Version/Content-Type/Content-Transfer-Encoding). Terms and privacy Terms of service: https://sendemailtoday.io/terms.html Privacy policy: https://sendemailtoday.io/privacy.html Privacy When activated, this plugin transmits email content (recipient, sender, subject, body, headers) to a third-party SMTP gateway for delivery. This is the plugin’s only purpose. The data lifecycle is described above under “External services” and on the linked privacy policy. The plugin also writes a wp_add_privacy_policy_content() block describing what is transmitted; this lets site administrators include the disclosure in the WordPress-managed privacy policy page (Settings -> Privacy). Account deletion: a “Request account deletion” button on the plugin’s Settings page emails the gateway operator. Upon confirmation, the tenant record, API key(s), domain-authentication records, and recent sending history are removed from the gateway side. The plugin uninstall additionally removes the plugin’s WordPress-side options + tables.

WP Mail Logging is the most popular plugin for logging emails sent from your WordPress site. Simply activate it and it will work immediately, no extra configuration is needed. Are your WordPress emails not being sent or delivered? Use this plugin to log all outgoing emails from your WordPress site. If there are any errors when sending the email from your site, our email logs will catch that error and display it to you. This will allow you to debug and fix your email sending issue. Did a client not receive your email? Our email logs allow you to resend any email that was sent from your site. No more lost emails! Do you just want to keep a record of all emails sent from your site? By default, WordPress and your web host do not log, store or keep track of emails sent from your website. This plugin will allow you to do just that. Our email logs will store every email that is sent from your WordPress site. You can search and view a particular email log, inspect its content or attachments, and even resend that email. What email information is logged? All emails sent from your WordPress site are logged. And here is the information that is stored: Email Subject Email Content (HTML or text) Email Attachments Email Headers (to, from, reply-to, cc, bcc, …) Error Message (in case there was an error while attempting to send the email) IP Address of originating server (can be enabled in the settings) Date and Time of the email Receiver (the TO email address) Why are my logged emails still not delivered to the inbox? There are a lot of steps that emails have to make in order to be delivered to the recipient’s inbox. When your WordPress site sends an email, there’s no guarantee it will be delivered. This is what the email’s journey looks like: WordPress creates an email WordPress passes the email to your website host and that email gets logged by our plugin The host server takes the email and sends it (SMTP or Mail Transfer Agent) Recipient server receives or blocks the email If the email is accepted, the spam filter decides if it goes to the inbox or the spam folder Recipients see the email and might open it. This plugin does not track delivery after step 2. If you have deliverability issues, we suggest installing the WP Mail SMTP plugin. WP Mail SMTP fixes WordPress email deliverability problems, you can choose between 12 email providers (Gmail, Outlook, SendLayer, Mailgun, …) to resolve your email sending issue and it’s super easy to set up. WP Mail SMTP is trusted by more than 3 million websites. Credits The plugin was created and launched in 2014 by Christian Zöller.
