Overview
This WordPress SMTP plugin is designed as a straightforward solution for sending emails through an SMTP server, addressing common issues with existing plugins that frequently break functionality by overwriting the 'from' address and name fields. Developed to adhere to the KISS principle, it uses WordPress core for SMTP without relying on third-party libraries, thus ensuring compatibility with other email-sending plugins like Gravity Forms. Key features include the ability to enable debug mode for logging communications, secure settings configuration via the WordPress settings API, and customizable access to settings through user roles. Additionally, it provides an Email Test page to verify SMTP setup correctness and supports overriding settings via `wp-config.php`, ideal for multi-site installations. Compatible with PHP 7.0+ and WordPress 4.9+, the plugin aims to be a reliable and user-friendly tool for administrators, while also welcoming contributions from developers for continuous improvement.

I used to use PostMan SMTP – now Post SMTP plugin, but this has become very annoying. Because it has become a bulky plugin that almost forces you to go to a paid subscription.
The Post SMTP zip file is 8,7MB, while this SAR Friendly SMTP is only 38kB!
Of course the other plugin has many more options, but if you just need the mail to be sent by SMTP this SAR Friendly SMTP plugin is absolutely fabulous. Therefore I just made a small donation.

We tried Postmark. We tried Post SMTP. They would either not deliver e-mails at all (via a SendGrid API relay)… or would only relay text versions. With this plugin, it just WORKED.
Thank you!
