Mail Doctor replaces WordPress’ default <code>wp_mail</code> stack with authenticated SMTP or provider APIs plus the operational tooling fast-moving stores need. It is written for merchants, agencies, and reliability teams that want hard proof their receipts, fulfillment notices, and alerts land every time.
<h4>Feature Highlights</h4>
<ul>
<li>Deliverability with guardrails – Route WooCommerce or all site email through your preferred SMTP/API provider, lock the From identity, and fail over gracefully when third-party endpoints go dark.</li>
<li>One-click diagnostics – Send live tests with TLS/auth badges, latency metrics, DNS posture (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and actionable warnings the moment something drifts.</li>
<li>Reliable retries & queue control – Automatic exponential backoff, manual retry orchestration, Action Scheduler integration, and a “run queue now” control for urgent flushes.</li>
<li>Deep visibility – Searchable logs with <code>.eml</code> downloads, header/body inspection, filterable status views, and CSV exports for audits.</li>
<li>Email template workflow – Version history, diff previews, modal device switcher, and send-test flows for the WooCommerce template editor.</li>
<li>Automation surface – REST API endpoints and WP-CLI commands mirror UI actions so you can script smoke tests, tail logs, or trigger retries in CI/CD pipelines.</li>
<li>Privacy-first options – Hash or redact recipients, tune retention windows, and honour GDPR requests through the bundled exporters/erasers.</li>
<li>Operational alerts – Instant Slack/email failure alerts plus weekly digests summarising throughput, latency, retries, and queue health.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin acts as a connector between your WordPress site and third-party email providers. When you configure an external service (SMTP or API), this plugin transmits email data to that provider for delivery.
Data Sent: 
* Sender and Recipient names and email addresses. 
* Email subject, body content (HTML/Text), and headers. 
* Timestamps and potentially the originating IP address.
When Payload is Sent: 
* Immediately whenever an email is triggered by WordPress, WooCommerce, or another plugin, if that specific provider is currently set as your active transport.
Purpose: 
* To reliably deliver transactional emails to user inboxes using the provider’s infrastructure.

</li>
</ul>
<h4>Quick Start</h4>
<ol>
<li>Review the documentation link in the Documentation section for the full tour and terminology.</li>
<li>Configure SMTP/API credentials on WooCommerce → Mail Doctor → Settings.</li>
<li>Send a test email from the Status tab and verify DNS/auth posture.</li>
<li>Visit Logs to confirm entries are stored and retries are scheduled as expected.</li>
<li>Enable alerts and weekly digests so the team knows when to act.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Documentation</h4>
Documentation: https://wpdoctorpro.com/docs/mail-doctor/welcome-to-mail-doctor – guides, setup, troubleshooting, and support.
<h4>Privacy controls</h4>
Mail Doctor ships with built-in privacy tooling under Settings → Logging & Privacy:
<ul>
<li>Mask recipient emails: Hashes addresses before storing them in logs.</li>
<li>Redact headers and bodies: Keeps metadata only so sensitive content is not persisted.</li>
<li>Retention windows: Separate sliders for sent, failed, and payload data; shorten for stricter compliance.</li>
<li>GDPR exporter/eraser: WordPress privacy tools are wired to export or anonymise recipient rows on request.</li>
<li>Role-based access: Admin UI and AJAX endpoints are gated by <code>manage_woocommerce</code>/<code>manage_options</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Troubleshooting</h4>
<ul>
<li>Red notices on the Status tab usually indicate DNS or authentication drift—re-run the onboarding checks and confirm credentials with your provider.</li>
<li>If the queue stalls, visit Settings → Retry & Queue and use Run queue now; check your cron runner or Action Scheduler if jobs remain pending.</li>
<li>Use the <code>.eml</code> download from each log entry when escalating to your SMTP provider—they can analyse the exact payload and SMTP transcript.</li>
<li>For privacy incidents, toggle Privacy Mode and shorten retention while you investigate; the GDPR exporter/eraser handles customer requests.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Support & Packaging</h3>
<ul>
<li>Requirements: WordPress 6.0+, WooCommerce (latest), PHP 8.1–8.3 with cURL/JSON; OpenSSL recommended for encrypted secret storage.</li>
<li>Included in download: <code>mail-doctor/</code> plugin folder, <code>Documentation/</code> offline HTML docs, <code>readme.txt</code>, <code>changelog.txt</code>, and <code>LICENSE</code>.</li>
<li>Support/Contact: See the Documentation section for guides and support links. When requesting help, include your WP/Woo versions, provider, and a recent log ID from Mail Doctor → Logs.</li>
</ul>

Mail Doctor

Deliver WooCommerce emails with confidence using authenticated SMTP transports, visual diagnostics, and automated retries.

Valentin Bora

Are your contact form emails disappearing? Customers not getting order confirmations? Password reset emails never arriving?
This plugin helps you find out why. It checks whether your domain is set up correctly for email, and then goes a step further: it sends a real test email from your site and tells you exactly what inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook see when your email arrives.
Most email tools, even ones with a “send test email” button, only confirm the message left your site by delivering it to your own inbox. But a letter mailed to your own house always arrives; that tells you nothing about whether a customer’s inbox would accept it. This plugin sends a real test email to an independent grader that reads what actually arrived, and tells you exactly what Gmail and Outlook see: whether you pass SPF, DKIM and DMARC, which service delivered it, and whether your sending address is blacklisted.
<h4>What you’ll learn</h4>
Is your domain set up for email?
<ul>
<li>Can inbox providers verify your emails are real (SPF)</li>
<li>Do your emails carry a digital signature (DKIM)</li>
<li>Are fake emails pretending to be you getting blocked (DMARC)</li>
<li>Can your domain receive email (MX records)</li>
<li>Which email service your domain uses</li>
</ul>
Do your emails actually pass security checks?
Send a real test email from your site and see what happens when it arrives:
<ul>
<li>Does it pass the sender verification check</li>
<li>Is the digital signature valid</li>
<li>Does it pass the anti-spoofing check</li>
<li>Does the sender address match your domain</li>
<li>Which service actually delivered the email (Google, SendGrid, Amazon SES, and others)</li>
</ul>
<h4>More features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Works with any email setup – whether you use an SMTP plugin (WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP, FluentSMTP, etc.) or your host’s built-in email, this plugin tests whatever your site actually uses to send mail</li>
<li>Site Health integration – email checks appear on your WordPress Site Health screen alongside your other site diagnostics</li>
<li>Weekly monitoring – get an email notification if your domain’s email records change unexpectedly</li>
<li>Email report – send yourself a summary of the results to share with your developer or hosting provider</li>
<li>Score out of 10 – a simple score that tells you how your email setup compares to best practices</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Activate the plugin and go to Tools > Does My Email Work</li>
<li>Click “Check my domain” — the plugin checks your domain’s public email records (the same records Gmail and Outlook already see when you send email)</li>
<li>The check then automatically sends a test email from your site so the service can see what inbox providers would receive</li>
<li>Get a clear report of what’s working and what needs attention</li>
</ol>
<h4>External Services</h4>
This plugin connects to the following external services to perform its diagnostic functions:
doesmyemail.work API 
Used to look up your domain’s public email records and process test email results. For the record lookup, the plugin sends your site’s domain name to this service. Email reports are generated and sent locally by the plugin – no email addresses are transmitted to this service.
When you choose to run a deep check, your site sends a test email to a unique address at doesmyemail.work, and also sends the public DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX) the plugin already collected for your own domain, so the service can correlate them with the received email. The email’s routing and authentication metadata (From address, Return-Path, sending IP, detected mail service, SPF/DKIM/DMARC results, DKIM key strength, and sending-IP blacklist status) is analyzed and stored for up to 7 days, then automatically deleted. No email body content is stored or read.
<ul>
<li>Service operated by Mach10 (mach10.pro)</li>
<li><a href="https://doesmyemail.work/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Use</a></li>
<li><a href="https://doesmyemail.work/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Cloudflare DNS (used by the doesmyemail.work service) 
The DNS record lookups happen on the doesmyemail.work servers, which use Cloudflare’s public resolver (1.1.1.1) to query your domain’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records. Your WordPress site does not contact Cloudflare directly; it only connects to doesmyemail.work. No personal data beyond your domain name is involved.
