What the author says it does
WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin
Is your WordPress site not sending emails? You’re not alone. 4+ million websites use WP Mail SMTP to send emails reliably.
Our goal is to make email deliverability easy so that your emails reach the inbox.
WP Mail SMTP fixes your email deliverability issues by reconfiguring WordPress to use a proper SMTP provider when sending emails.
Best of all, our easy-to-use Setup Wizard and detailed documentation guide you through the process.
WP Mail SMTP is free and has everything you need to reliably send your WordPress emails!
WP Mail SMTP Pro adds even more powerful features like email logging, advanced email reporting and stats, backup connections, email alerts, smart conditional routing, and much more.
What is SMTP?
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry-standard for sending emails. Proper SMTP configuration helps increase email deliverability by adding authentication to the emails sent from your site.
Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, and Zoho are in a constant battle with email spammers, so they check whether emails are originating from a genuine sender. If the proper authentication isn’t there, emails either go in the SPAM folder or, worse, disappear.
