<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>


Config Email SMTP

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

Marco van Wieren

<p><strong>WPO365 | MS GRAPH MAILER</strong> provides you with a modern, reliable and efficient way to send WordPress transactional emails from one of your Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online / Mail enabled accounts.</p>
<p>The plugin re-configures your WordPress website to send emails using the <strong>Microsoft Graph API</strong> instead of – for example – SMTP. Sending WordPress emails using the <strong>Microsoft Graph API</strong> has become the only available alternative after Microsoft has disabled basic authentication (username and password) over the SMTP protocol.</p>

<li>Or: Select either a Microsoft 365 account or a personal Microsoft account, like Hotmail.com or Outlook.com, to send WordPress emails.</li>
<li>Or: Configure <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/permissions-exo/application-rbac" rel="nofollow ugc">RBAC for Exchange Online</a> and authorize as an application but with a limited scope e.g. one specific mailbox.</li>
