MailHog for WordPress

After trying to get MAMP Pro to work with MailHog and being unsuccessful on multiple attempts, I gave up and started researching for a better alternative. That's when I found this plugin.

I installed MailHog using Homebrew on the mac, ignored all the Postfix settings in MAMP Pro, and installed this plugin. There is literally zero configuration and it works perfectly no matter which domain or email address you test with.

Thank you for saving me time and another headache!

Works Like a Charm!

This is a great example of how you don't need to overcomplicate things, and still make a great and super useful plugin.

The plugin will just hook to phpmailer_init and make it work with Mailhog. No configuration is needed, it just works.

Great job 👍🏼

Does what it says it does, and does it well

Installed it, activated it, and MailHog started to receive emails. Just what I wanted!

Just activate and it works

Plug and play! Just works!

Zero configuration MailHog plugin for your development machine.

mail250

Having problem with your WordPress site not sending emails? over 6k websites use Mail250 platform to fix their email delivery issues.
WordPress users face this chronic email delivery problem due to the fact that by default WordPress website uses wp_mail() which internally uses PHP’s mail() function, which uses server’s localhost configuration (on which website is hosted) to send emails. The default configuration won’t work as most of the shared hosting providers blocks outgoing SMTP ports 25 to protect their infrastructure from spam. This plugin fixes this problem by using Mail250 SMTP services instead of your hosting provider’s server settings.
Mail250 is an AI-Driven Bulk Email Marketing Service
The Mail250 plugin uses SMTP integration to send outgoing emails from your WordPress installation. It replaces the wp_mail function included with WordPress.
To have the mail250 plugin running after you have activated it, go to the plugin’s settings page and set the mail250 credentials.
How to use <code>wp_mail()</code> function:
We amended <code>wp_mail()</code> function so all email sends from WordPress should go through Mail250.
You can send emails using the following function: <code>wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '', $attachments = array())</code>
Where:
<ul>
<li><code>$to</code> – Array or comma-separated list of email addresses to send message.</li>
<li><code>$subject</code> – Your email subject</li>
<li><code>$message</code> – Your email body (HTML)</li>
<li><code>$headers</code> – Array or “\n” separated list of additional headers. Optional.</li>
<li><code>$attachments</code> – Array or “\n”/”,” separated list of files to attach. Optional.</li>
</ul>
The wp_mail function is sending text emails as default. If you want to send an email with HTML content you have to set the content type to ‘text/html’ running <code>add_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');</code> function before to <code>wp_mail()</code> one.
After wp_mail function you need to run the <code>remove_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');</code> to remove the ‘text/html’ filter to avoid conflicts –https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23578
Example about how to send an HTML email using different headers:
<pre><code>$subject = 'Test Email via WP Mail SMTP plugin';
$message = 'Body of the test email sent using WP Mail STMP WordPress plugin';
$to = 'recipient1@example.com, Recipient Name <recipient2@example.com>';
or
$to = array('recipient1@example.com', 'Recipient Name <recipient2@example.com>');

$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'From: Sender <sender@example.com>';
$headers[] = 'X-Your-Custom-Header: YourCustomeHeaderValue';

$attachments = array('/tmp/img1.jpg', '/tmp/img2.jpg');

add_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');
$mail = wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $attachments);

remove_filter('wp_mail_content_type', 'set_html_content_type');
</code></pre>
