TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to send emails through an external SMTP server such as Gmail. It solves the problem of unreliable email delivery caused by using PHP's default mail() function by routing outgoing mail through a configured SMTP server.

  • SMTP server configuration
  • Uses Gmail as SMTP server
  • Replaces PHP mail() function
  • Settings page for SMTP details
  • Authentication credentials support

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SMTP

I have not tested the plugin with a WordPress version lower than 3.0 so it might or it might not work. You can give it a try.
Said plugin has to use the WordPress default wp_mail() function when sending emails in order for SMTP to work.
Use the following settings: Host: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Encryption: SSL Username: gmail address Password: gmail password
