<p>Email Auth allows you to enable email authentication/validation for your WordPress site. Configure the DKIM selector, SPF, DMARC, bounce address, from address, and reply-to address of emails sent by WordPress through the default PHPMailer.</p>
<p>Configuring these email settings allows you to prevent attackers from spoofing emails from your domain and helps keep your emails out of the spam folder.</p>
<h4>DKIM Selector</h4>
<p>Create, upload, download, and delete private and public keys for use with DKIM with an intuitive interface. Configure emails to use a DKIM selector and configure which domain should be used with DKIM.</p>
<h4>SPF</h4>
<p>Create a new SPF record for your envelope domain, validate an existing record, or view recommendations for how to improve your SPF configuration.</p>
<h4>DMARC</h4>
<p>Validate your DMARC DNS record settings and view comments about your current configuration.</p>
<h4>Bounce Address</h4>
<p>Set your bounce address to ensure emails are being sent from the right domain to avoid having your emails rejected or marked as spam.</p>
<h4>From Address and Reply-To Address</h4>
<p>Set the address and name emails are sent from along with the address replies should be sent to.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to an online list from <a href="https://publicsuffix.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">publicsuffix.org</a> to determine which organizational domain should be searched when obtaining DMARC DNS records. For example, if the domain wordpress.brandonfowler.me does not have a DMARC record, then brandonfowler.me will be checked for a DMARC record. No user information is sent when requesting the list and its usage is subject to the <a href="https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mozilla Public License Version 2.0</a>.</p>

Mailchimp for WooCommerce

Very basic plugin. If your needs are little, it works fine. But if you want to segment based on orders your customers made, you can only segment on basic things like product purchased, purchase date, store ordered from, etc. You can nog segment on product variations or SKUs.

No support for product variations


Good for me, and I translated in Japanese.


Good


This is the second time this plugin has collapsed my server. The first time was during a sync, and now, after archiving a large contact list in Mailchimp, the plugin started receiving an overwhelming number of requests, maxing out my server's CPU at 100%. This made my website nearly unusable and caused significant downtime.



Take care with this this plugin, it could cause serious performance problems.


Severe Performance Issues – Has collapsed my server twice
