<p>This plugin configures WordPress and WordPress MU to use a SMTP server when sending emails instead of the default PHP <code>mail()</code> function.</p>
<p>You will configure your SMTP settings in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file instead of the settings page.<br />
The advantage is that no admin of your blog can read the settings.<br />
And you only have to place your settings once in cases of a WordPress MU installation.</p>
<p>A sample configuration:</p>
<pre><code>/**
 * WordPress SMTP server
 */
define('WP_SMTP_HOST',       'mail.example.com');
define('WP_SMTP_PORT',       25);                                // obligatory - default: 25
define('WP_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls');                             // obligatory ('tls' or 'ssl') - default: no encryption
define('WP_SMTP_USER',       'username');                        // obligatory - default: no user
define('WP_SMTP_PASSWORD',   'password');                        // obligatory - default: no password
define('WP_SMTP_FROM',       'John Doe <john.doe@example.com>'); // obligatory - default: no custom from address
define('WP_SMTP_REPLYTO',    'Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com>'); // obligatory - default: no custom reply to address
</code></pre>
