Frumbik SMTP vs Stop

WordPress uses the PHP mail() function by default, which often results in emails being marked as spam or not delivered at all. Frumbik SMTP replaces the default mail function with authenticated SMTP or API-based email delivery through your chosen provider. Connect Gmail, SendGrid, Amazon SES, or any SMTP server — and all emails WordPress sends will be properly authenticated, encrypted, and delivered. Key Features Frumbik SMTP provides the following capabilities, all included in the free version: 🔄 Automatic Failover — If your primary provider goes down, emails automatically route to your backup provider. 📊 Dashboard — Real-time delivery stats, success rates, and charts.

Stops outgoing emails sent from WordPress. This plugin stops outgoing emails generated by WordPress core, plugins, and themes. Emails sent using the wp_mail() function, will not be sent. In the case where an author does not use the recommended wp_mail() function and instead sends the email using another mechanism, an email will still be sent. This plugin allows you to suspend sending emails when doing development work. Any calls to wp_mail() will fail silently. WordPress will operate as if the email were sent successfully but no email will actually be sent. On the admin menu page Settings > Stop Emails, there is the option to log all emails to the PHP error log. By default this logging is disabled. NOTE: If using the PHP mail() function directly, this plugin will NOT stop the emails. Built by Sal Ferrarello / @salcode
