Overview
The WordPress SMTP Mailing plugin is designed to configure and customize the SMTP mailing system within WordPress for handling outgoing emails, including support for SSL/TLS encryption used by platforms like Gmail. As the successor to the original wpPHPMailer, this plugin allows users to specify crucial settings such as the SMTP host name, port number, authentication requirements, and whether the connection should use SSL or TLS. It also offers the convenience of automatically configuring these settings for Gmail, requiring only the Gmail address and password input from users. Additionally, the plugin provides flexibility in defining the 'From:' field for outgoing emails regardless of SMTP enablement and includes a simple test button to verify proper email configuration. This ensures seamless and secure management of email delivery from WordPress sites. For more information, users can visit the Plugin Homepage, Plugin Directory Page, GitHub, and the Author's Homepage.
