WP SMTP Config Plugin

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

You will configure your SMTP settings in your wp-config.php file instead of the settings page.
The advantage is that no admin of your blog can read the settings.
And you only have to place your settings once in cases of a WordPress MU installation.

A sample configuration:

/** * WordPress SMTP server */ define('WP_SMTP_HOST', 'mail.example.com'); define('WP_SMTP_PORT', 25); // obligatory - default: 25 define('WP_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'); // obligatory ('tls' or 'ssl') - default: no encryption define('WP_SMTP_USER', 'username'); // obligatory - default: no user define('WP_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'password'); // obligatory - default: no password define('WP_SMTP_FROM', 'John Doe <[email protected]>'); // obligatory - default: no custom from address define('WP_SMTP_REPLYTO', 'Jane Doe <[email protected]>'); // obligatory - default: no custom reply to address 

1. Upload wp-smtp-config.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Place the SMTP details (see Description) in your wp-config.php file above the line /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
4. Test your settings (Settings -> SMTP)

Where is my SMTP settings page?

The configuration of the SMTP server credentials will be placed in your wp-config.php file only.
You can test your configuration in Settings -> SMTP Test.
If you are running a MU installation you will find this settings page for SMTP Test in your network settings.
