The WordPress email delivery dilemma
If you own a WordPress site, you probably know how difficult it can be to ensure that your emails are delivered correctly. The default PHP mail function used by WordPress can cause various problems, including irregular delivery or non-delivery of emails. This is where a powerful plugin called WP Mail SMTP.
In its essence, WP Mail SMTP reconfigures WordPress to use SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) instead of the PHP mail function. This improvement ensures that your e-mails are delivered more reliably, avoiding spam filters and ensuring that your messages reach their recipients.
Configuration of WP Mail SMTP for WordPress
One of the main attractions of WP Mail SMTP è la sua facilità di configurazione. Il plugin supporta una vasta gamma di provider di posta elettronica, tra cui Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun e altri. Questo significa che è molto probabile che tu possa utilizzare il tuo attuale provider di posta elettronica con WP Mail SMTP.
To configure WP Mail SMTP, you need to access your WordPress dashboard, go to the plugins menu and search for 'WP Mail SMTP'. After installing and activating it, go to the plugin's settings page to configure your SMTP preferences.
Advanced functionalities of WP Mail SMTP
In addition to its main function of improving email delivery, WP Mail SMTP offers a number of advanced features. These include email logging, which allows you to keep track of all emails sent from your WordPress site, and the email control function, which allows you to manage who can send emails from your site.
In addition, WP Mail SMTP offers a website protection function that blocks unauthorised emails. This helps prevent abuse and maintain the reputation of your email domain.
