Surbma

This plugin is created especially for Multisite Networks. You can define all variables in the wp-config.php file and it will be valid for all sites in a Multisite. So this is not for a site-by-site configuration plugin. You can install it on a single WordPress install also and it will work perfectly. But if you install it in a Multisite Network, you can only network activate it!
This plugin is working with all SMTP servers and services, like Mailgun, SendGrid, Mandrill, Amazon SES and others.
Required variables:
<ul>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_HOST</code> – External SMTP server.</li>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_USER</code> – User for the SMTP account.</li>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_PASSWORD</code> – Password for the SMTP account.</li>
</ul>
Optional variables:
<ul>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_PORT</code> – Port number for the SMTP server.</li>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_SECURE</code> – Choose SSL or TLS, if necessary for your SMTP server.</li>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_FROM</code> – From email address for all outgoing emails.</li>
<li><code>SURBMA_SMTP_FROMNAME</code> – From name for all outgoing emails.</li>
</ul>
Example configuration:
<pre><code> define('SURBMA_SMTP_HOST','smtp.mailgun.org');
 define('SURBMA_SMTP_USER','postmaster@surbma.com');
 define('SURBMA_SMTP_PASSWORD','bb2b************************4133');
</code></pre>
You can put these lines everywhere before the line, that says: “That’s It. Pencils down”

Surbma | SMTP

External SMTP mail configuration via global variables in wp-config.php.

Frumbik

WordPress uses the PHP <code>mail()</code> function by default, which often results in emails being marked as spam or not delivered at all. Frumbik SMTP replaces the default mail function with authenticated SMTP or API-based email delivery through your chosen provider.
Connect Gmail, SendGrid, Amazon SES, or any SMTP server — and all emails WordPress sends will be properly authenticated, encrypted, and delivered.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
Frumbik SMTP provides the following capabilities, all included in the free version:
🔄 Automatic Failover — If your primary provider goes down, emails automatically route to your backup provider.
📊 Dashboard — Real-time delivery stats, success rates, and charts. See what is happening with your emails at a glance.
📋 Complete Email Log — Every email logged with status, timestamps, headers, and source plugin. Search, filter, resend, or export — all from one screen.
🔐 Strong Security — AES-256-CBC encryption for all credentials. Security scoring dashboard with actionable recommendations.
⚡ Background Queue — High-traffic site? Queue emails for async delivery so your pages load fast while emails send in the background.
🎯 Smart Routing — Route WooCommerce emails through SendGrid, contact forms through Mailgun, and newsletters through Amazon SES — all automatically.
<h4>9 Providers, One Plugin</h4>
