Cryptex | E-Mail Address Protection

NOTE: this plugin is targeted to advanced users and professionals – it requires some configuration tasks and won’t work out-of-the-box! The plugin is used to display Email addresses as an image – automatically. This will stop harvesters and crawlers from gathering sensitive data from your website. It works with emails, telephone numbers, postal addresses or any other text-content. Just wrap your E-Mail-Address into a shortcode like [email][email protected][/email] – that’s it. Or use the Autodetect filter to transform every E-Mail-Address on your page automatically into an image! Plugin Features Protects Email Adresses, Telephone Numbers or any other content Fully customizable appearance: you can configure font-family, font-size and font-color – everything looks like your theme style Retina/HD/High-Dpi Images – best appearance on all devices (2x, 3x or 4x resolution enhancement) Shortcode and/or Autodetection usage! Build-In E-Mail-Address-Autodetection – all addresses on your page are protected automatically (if you want it – you can also just use shortcodes!) Autodetection filters configurable for the_content, the_excerpt, comments, comments_excerpt, text-widget Reversible Address-Autodetection Process – your content is modified as long as the plugin is activated Postal-addresses, telephone-numbers, names and other sensitive information`s can be protected too Protects E-Mail hyperlinks (mailto) by using javascript based key-shifting encryption/decryption with dynamic keys – but you can use images only Suitable for high traffic sites – automated caching of dynamic generated images and CSS Automatic font-search (standard system font-paths) Supports the new modern UI style of WordPress 3.8 Native support for Enlighter Syntax Highlighter to display E-Mail Addresses within highlighted content (requires Enlighter v2.7) Includes the Liberation(tm) Fonts package TrueType as well as OpenType Fonts are supported Text-Transformations The @-sign as well as dot’s within the e-mail-addresses can be automatically replaced by different placeholders, e.g. mail(at)example{dot}org, to match your website’s corporate design. Security Modes Cryptex provides various obfuscation modes for E-Mail-Addresses: Plain Text – only text-transformations are applied – no use of images Single Image – the e-mail-address is expressed as a single image Multipart Image – the e-mail-address is splitted into two images, seperated by the @-sign in plain text Advanced Multipart Image – the craziest one: each part (divided by dot’s and @ sign) is displayed as a seperate image, the dividers as plain text

WP Mail Logging

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.
