This plugin is relying just on your <code>wp-config.php</code> file. It uses smtp connection details you will set up there to configure WordPress to relay all outgoing emails through that email server.
<h4>Background</h4>
There are plenty of similar type of plugins out there. Most of them are not focused on relaying emails to an SMTP server, but rather supporting specific mail services.
But the main incentive for this was the fact that the <a href="https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress" rel="nofollow ugc">official WordPress docker image</a> doesn’t have support for sending out emails (eg. “forgot password”).

Config Email SMTP

A simple Wordpress plugin to configure email SMTP preferences using wp-config variables.

Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending email via SSL/TLS (such as Gmail).
This plugin is the official successor to the original SMTP plugin for WordPress (wpPHPMailer).
Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle outgoing emails. It offers you the ability to specify:
<ul>
<li>SMTP host name</li>
<li>SMTP port number</li>
<li>If SMTPAuth (authentication) should be used</li>
<li>SMTP username</li>
<li>SMTP password</li>
<li>If the SMTP connection needs to occur over ssl or tls</li>
</ul>
In addition, you can instead indicate that you wish to use Gmail to handle outgoing email, in which case the above settings are automatically configured to values appropriate for Gmail, though you’ll need to specify your Gmail email address (including the “@gmail.com”) and password.
Regardless of whether SMTP is enabled, the plugin provides you the ability to define the name and email of the ‘From:’ field for all outgoing emails.
A simple test button is also available that allows you to send a test email to yourself to check if sending email has been properly configured for your site.

Configure SMTP

does exactly what it says. Been working like a charm 

simple and sweet

Most of my users and customers ask me: why my mails are not being sent? Why some mails sent from my site do not arrives?

The problem are spam filters and things like this, so SMTP is a basic tool to operate a site or ecommerce.

I have used many plugin to do this task but none like this. This solves the problem in an easy and functional way.
