<p>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.</p>
<h4>Background</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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”).</p>

<p><strong>Did you find this plugin helpful?</strong> Please consider <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/send-emails-with-mandrill/" rel="ugc">leaving a 5-star review</a>.</p>
<p>Note: This is a forked version of the now unsupported <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/" rel="ugc">wpMandrill</a> plugin. The notes below are copied over from the original plugin and will be updated as relevant updates become available. Please help by contributing to the GitHub repository <a href="https://github.com/Miller-Media/send-emails-with-mandrill" rel="nofollow ugc">Send Emails With Mandrill on GitHub</a></p>
<p>This plugin uses <a href="http://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mandrill API</a> to send outgoing emails, with or without attachments, from your WordPress installation. It replaces the wp_mail function included with WordPress.</p>
<p>Emails are tracked and automatically tagged for statistics within the Mandrill Dashboard. You can also add general tags to every email sent, as well as particular tags based on selected emails defined by your requirements.</p>
<p>You can also use your own templates that have been added to your MailChimp account and shared with your Mandrill account.</p>
<p>There are a few levels of integrations between your WordPress installation and this plugin:</p>
<ol>
<li>The simplest option: Install it, configure it, and Send Emails with Mandrill will start sending your emails through Mandrill.</li>
<li>If you need to fine tune certain emails, you can change any email by creating a filter for the <strong>mandrill_payload</strong> hook.</li>
<li>For further customization, we’ve exposed a function that allows you to send emails from within your plugins, instead of the regular wp_mail function: <strong>wpMandrill::mail</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Enable the connection by entering a valid API key in the settings page or adding the line <code>define('SEWM_API_KEY', '{YOUR_API_KEY}')</code> your site’s wp-config.php file.</p>
<p>Spanish translation available.</p>

Send Emails with Mandrill

This was a super useful plugin that Mandrill/MailChimp stopped supporting, so glad to see it being actively supported again!

Great to see this plugin revived!

Really good. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the initiative to fork the unsupported plugin and get it working with modern PHP.

Thank you for supporting the plugin

Great that this plugin got a second life! It beats tons of other SMTP plugins trying to support mandrill. It needs a few updates to be fully PHP7.4 compatible and it would be great to have a few extra options (thing return_path_domain etc). On that note: I can help if that would in this great effort!?

Thanks, can I help ?


I am very happy with it, using it on 150 sites.
