The Generation

G-SMTP is a next Generation SMTP-plugin built to last. This is a plugin that helps you send your e-mails via SMTP, and only that.
All the SMTP-details are setup as constants via wp-config.php, making it stable and does not have to rely on the database for the e-mails to be delivered.

Mailgun

<a href="http://www.mailgun.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mailgun</a> is the email automation engine trusted by over 10,000 website and application developers for sending, receiving and tracking emails. By taking advantage of Mailgun’s powerful email APIs, developers can spend more time building awesome websites and less time fighting with email servers. Mailgun supports all of the most popular languages including PHP, Ruby, Python, C# and Java.
One particularly useful feature of this plugin is that it provides you with a way to send email when the server you are on does not support SMTP or where outbound SMTP is restricted since the plug-in uses the Mailgun HTTP API for sending email by default. All you need to use the plugin is a <a href="http://www.mailgun.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Mailgun account</a>. Mailgun has a free account that lets you send up to 200 emails per day, which is great for testing. Paid subscriptions are available for increased limits.
The latest version of this plugin now supports regions. Select either U.S./North America or Europe to choose the API endpoint from which you will send email.
The current version of this plugin only handles sending emails, tracking and tagging and list subscription.

Mailgun for WordPress


I’ve seen the negative reviews, but honestly my experience has been the opposite: the plugin just works, exactly as it should. Updates are rare, but that’s simply because the plugin is straightforward; it does one thing and does it well.



Mailgun itself deserves praise too. They’ve kept their quality and reliability over the years, without suddenly changing pricing or taking advantage of their position, unlike so many other companies. That’s rare, and really appreciated.



Thanks a lot for existing and staying awesome! 💕


Simple, Reliable, and Honest

Easily send email from your WordPress site through Mailgun using the HTTP API or SMTP.
