<p>Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending email via SSL/TLS (such as Gmail).</p>
<p>This plugin is the official successor to the original SMTP plugin for WordPress (wpPHPMailer).</p>
<p>Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle <em>outgoing</em> emails. It offers you the ability to specify:</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

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.

<p>There are A LOT of SMTP plugins for WordPress, some uses third-party libraries with no too much luck, others looks like the same plugin (almost identical source code) but with different name…</p>
<p>Most of them overwrites from address and from name fields ALWAYS, breaking functionality of some other plugins that send emails using wp_mail() function.</p>
<p>So the history repeats again, I can’t find one simple plugin that fits my needs, so I created one for myself and share it with you in the hope that you’ll find it useful.</p>

SAR Friendly SMTP

It probably works fine, but I uninstalled it immediately after activating it because it clutters up the admin menu with a new top-level item, even though you only interact with it once.

Adds another top-level admin menu

A friendly SMTP plugin for WordPress. No third-party, simply using WordPress native possibilities.
