SMTP Plugin

This plugin configures WordPress to use a SMTP server when sending emails instead of the default PHP mail() function.

It also creates a settings page where you can enter the SMTP server details and authenticatin credentials if needed.

1. Upload the plugin to the /wp-contents/plugins/ folder.
2. Activate the plugin from the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Configure the SMTP details from the ‘SMTP’ settings page

Will the plugin work with versions prior to 3.0?

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.

I have a plugin that sends out emails but doesn’t use SMTP. Why?

Said plugin has to use the WordPress default wp_mail() function when sending emails in order for SMTP to work.

How do I set up the plugin to use the Gmail SMTP?

Use the following settings:

Host: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Encryption: SSL
Username: gmail address
Password: gmail password
