Overview
This WordPress plugin enhances the wp_mail() function by enabling it to utilize SMTP rather than the default mail() function, providing more flexibility and reliability for outgoing emails. It includes an intuitive options page where users can configure critical settings such as the from name and email address, the choice between SMTP or PHP’s mail() function, and the SMTP host and port. Additionally, it offers options for SSL/TLS encryption, SMTP authentication, and specifying an SMTP username and password. A unique feature of this plugin is its added functionality for the SendGrid Activity Screen, incorporating email subjects into the log for better email tracking and management.
Customizable Email Settings
- Specify the from name and email address for outgoing email.
- Choose to send mail by SMTP or PHP’s mail() function.
SMTP Configuration
- Specify an SMTP host (defaults to localhost).
- Specify an SMTP port (defaults to 25).
Enhanced Security

- Choose to use SMTP authentication or not (defaults to not).
Improved SendGrid Integration
- Adds subject to headers for SendGrid Activity Screen.
- Ensures message subjects are visible in SendGrid's Activity Log screen.
