=== WP Mail SMTP === Contributors: chmac Donate link: http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/donate/ Tags: mail, smtp, wp_mail, mailer, phpmailer Requires at least: 2.7 Tested up to: 3.9.1 Stable tag: 0.9.5 Reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page to manage the settings. == Description == This plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page that allows you to specify various options. You can set the following options: * Specify the from name and email address for outgoing email. * Choose to send mail by SMTP or PHP's mail() function. * Specify an SMTP host (defaults to localhost). * Specify an SMTP port (defaults to 25). * Choose SSL / TLS encryption (not the same as STARTTLS). * Choose to use SMTP authentication or not (defaults to not). * Specify an SMTP username and password. == Installation == 1. Download 2. Upload to your `/wp-contents/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. == Frequently Asked Questions == = My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function = If other plugins you're using are not coded to use the wp_mail() function but instead call PHP's mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the `mail(` calls with `wp_mail(` (just adding wp_ in front) and this will work. I've tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins. = Will this plugin work with WordPress versions less than 2.7? = No. WordPress 2.7 changed the way options were updated, so the options page will only work on 2.7 or later. = Can I use this plugin to send email via Gmail / Google Apps = Yes. Use these settings: Mailer: SMTP SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Port: 465 Encryption: SSL Authentication: Yes Username: your full gmail address Password: your mail password = Can you add feature x, y or z to the plugin? = Short answer: maybe. By all means please contact me to discuss features or options you'd like to see added to the plugin. I can't guarantee to add all of them, but I will consider all sensible requests.
