FluentSMTP – WP SMTP Plugin with Amazon SES, SendGrid, MailGun, Postmark, Google and Any SMTP Provider

I am setting my Tutor LMS and they recommended to use FluentSMTP. In no time I managed to go through the documentation and start appreciating an outstanding product. Thanks FluentSMTP Team for designing and delivering such a great tool (even I can receive e-mails status from my Telegram channel). I am delighted to fully recommend FluentSMTP. Well done guys!

This is a good one, also one of my first installs on any new site. This topic was modified 1 week, 5 days ago by Jacko.

When I use this plugin to send emails, there is no record of sent emails in my email backend sent folder, when I submit this error on the forums, their techs simply replied that it’s a problem with contacting the email service provider, not their problem, when I switched it to another smtp plugin, everything works fine and there is indeed a record of sent emails in the sent folder on the email side. If you want to avoid similar errors or not getting support services, stay away from this crap !!!!!!!

Hello team, thank you for having a pickup and go solution for a person in need. I did not even have to read the documentation to get this configured and tested in less than 5 minutes on a production site that was in need of a solution after repeated dropping of the ball by Brevo SMTP (formely SendinBlue). Too early to have much of an opinion or to have looked under the hood, but comments form other users are very reassuring, a light plugin, that does the job with fast Rest API SMTP, offers redundancy via multiple SMTP accounts support, offers email logs (even if not exportable at this stage, its still better than none!), and according to other feedback uses it’s own database table thus not polluting as it goes. All thumbs up so far. A clear demonstration of the developers way of thinking and focusing on quality, core features and efficiency. Thank you to all involved. Ohh and the best part, it’s Free…..that I was not expecting and Im half looking back to see where the adware will be coming from, but nothing so far. Now, for Brevo I cannot say the same. I have been a customer for over 4 years, and following the acquisition by Brevo, service has slowly headed down hill, to the point where Transactional emails are all being blocked due to Brevo’s Shared hosting IP’s constantly being blocked by Spamcop. What good is a SMTP solution as as service when it’s own infrastructure is being blocked from delivering the service they are committed to deliver? – Its a rhetorical, but suffice it to say, 20%+ of soft-fails per month is not sustainable and 50% of soft-fails over the past 4 days is the last straw! Responses provided by their support team are generic singing from a hymn-sheet style statements failing to comprehend the root cause or address it! This has been going on for roughly 10 months now, I think it is clear where their priorities lie. Hoping for a long lasting relationship with FluentSMTP! 🙂 P.S. I have 6 other sites across 3 domains in my remit in the day-time job, all currently using WP SMTP, if all goes well here we may be moving to Flient there too.

I do not have a lot of experience with comparing this with other SMTP plugins, other than that I spent a considerable time reading the description and reviews of various plugins and then decided this was the one to try first, and it did not disappoint. It was the right mix of capable without being unnecessarily bloated with pro features to unlock. I am now using it on two different sites with great results so far. Besides the simple statement that “it works for me,” here are a few observations that were relevant to me that might be helpful to others: I like that I can add multiple email accounts. We have a multilingual site (using WPML) that has a different domain per language, so at the minimum we need a different email address per language. With this plugin, that is no problem, and it works well with WooCommerce and Contact Form 7. As long as these latter two plugins are configured to use an email address that corresponds to one of the addresses set up in FluentSMTP, no problem. I like that the email log feature writes to its own database table so that other tables like wp_posts and wp_postmeta do not get huge and slow everything down. It also makes it easy to remove the data if ever I decide to do so. This plugin also works with local development, but I found that I cannot use MailHog with this plugin. Perhaps that is true for all SMTP solutions—I just don’t know. However, I found that FluentSMTP offers the option to disable sending of emails (look for the “Email Simulation” feature on the settings page), and together with the email log feature, it effectively provides its own solution to testing emails without actually sending them. Even with emails disabled, you can still view what the emails would have looked like if they were actually sent. Memory impact of this plugin appears to be approximately .14 MB, as determined by comparing the total memory impact on the WP Plugins page with or without this plugin activated. There is a convenient email test feature that is great for making sure that the email accounts are configured correctly. It keeps a clean PHP error log. That is important to me as a developer.
