What is SMTP, and Why Do You Need It? SMTP, short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the most widely used protocol for online email transmission. SMTP configuration with proper authentication for your WordPress site ensures that your WordPress emails do not end up in spam. By default, WordPress sends emails using the PHP mail function, which isn’t ideal because most WordPress hosting servers don’t support PHP email. On top of that, most email clients, such as Outlook (Office 365 / Microsoft365), Yahoo, Gmail, Brevo, Zoho, Amazon SES, Mailgun, etc., automatically block or mark spam emails that lack proper authentication. That’s why you need to install the Post SMTP plugin on your WordPress site to configure the SMTP mailer of your choice with one-click SMTP setup for Gmail, Microsoft 365, and more. How Does Post SMTP Work? Post SMTP allows you to easily replace the default PHP mail function (wp_mail) of your WordPress site with the SMTP mailer of your choice, like Microsoft 365(Office 365), Brevo, Zoho, SendGrid, Mailgun SMTP, Gmail (Gmail SMTP Server), Post Mark, Amazon SES etc., which in turn improves WordPress email deliverability. This WordPress mail SMTP plugin provides detailed email logs, email open tracking, email alerts, and a mobile app to monitor WordPress email deliverability. Additionally, with a 3-step setup wizard you can configure any SMTP mailer (e.g., Gmail SMTP (Gmail one-click setup), Microsoft Office 365, Mailgun, Brevo, etc.) securely via API Keys in seconds without providing your SMTP account credentials. NOTE: If you want to set up a Gmail SMTP server for WordPress, check out our detailed guide on how to configure Gmail SMTP server to send WordPress emails reliably.

WP-EMail puts an “Email This Post” link on your posts and pages. A visitor clicking it gets a small form, fills in their name, their friend’s name and address and an optional remark, and the article goes out through wp_mail() — so it uses whatever WordPress itself is set up to send with. Every message is logged, so you can see what was sent, to whom, from which address and whether it arrived. The page title, the subject line, the HTML body, the plain text body and every message the visitor sees are templates you can edit, each with its own list of variables and a button to put the original back. Features An “Email This Post” link built from an HTML template you edit, with the envelope glyph, the wording and the post type as variables A standalone e-mail page or a popup window HTML or plain text messages, with the article whole or cut to a word count Image verification, and a minimum interval between sends, to keep the form off spammers’ lists A sortable, paginated log of every message, with totals and a one-click purge A widget and template tags for the most emailed posts and pages A block on the WP-Stats page, if you have WP-Stats installed Donations I spent most of my free time creating, updating, maintaining and supporting these plugins, if you really love my plugins and could spare me a couple of bucks, I will really appreciate it. If not feel free to use it without any obligations. Usage The plugin works as soon as it is activated. All you have to decide is where the e-mail link appears. On selected posts and pages, type the shortcode into the content: [email_link] This works in both block and classic themes, and puts the link exactly where you want it rather than on everything. On every post and page, call the template tag from your theme instead. In a classic theme, open wp-content/themes/ /index.php — or single.php, page.php, and so on — find: and add this inside the loop, where you want the link to show: Use one or the other, not both, or the link appears twice. If the link is there but clicking it gives a 404, re-save your permalinks under WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks. The plugin registers its /email/ endpoint on activation, but a site with unusual rewrite rules can need the nudge. Everything else is configured under WP-Admin -> E-Mail -> Settings, which has two tabs: Settings for the link, the form and delivery, and Templates for the eight message templates. The log of what has been sent is under WP-Admin -> E-Mail -> Manage E-Mail. Filters Use wp_email_capability to hand a screen to a capability other than the default. The logs screen is gated on manage_email and the settings screen on manage_options: add_filter( 'wp_email_capability', function ( $capability, $context ) { return 'logs' === $context ? 'edit_posts' : $capability; }, 10, 2 ); Use wp_email_form_field_values to pre-fill the form. The plugin uses it itself to fill in a logged-in visitor’s name and address: add_filter( 'wp_email_form_field_values', function ( $values ) { $values['yourremarks'] = 'Thought you would like this.'; return $values; } ); The other three are wp_email_ipaddress (the address a send is attributed to), wp_email_template_redirect (whether the plugin takes over the request for its own endpoints) and wp_email_trust_proxy (whether the usual forwarding headers may be trusted).
