Description
- Just SMTP allows you to set up mail delivery via SMTP.
- Input your server, user, password data and you’re good to go.
- This plugin doesn’t add a top-level menu item, has no ads, nags or other clutter.
- Just SMTP does just that: SMTP.
What this plugin does not provide
- Mail delivery without SMTP authorization (i.e. without username and password). You shouldn’t want to anyway.
- Mail delivery without TLS or SSL encryption. That’s just not a thing anymore.
- Mail delivery via Exchange, Google Workspace or similar services that require more complex authorization.
- Error logging or any sophisticated debugging. It does have a mail tester though.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/just-smtpdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Configure your settings using the Settings->SMTP screen
Frequently Asked Questions
Use the Tester to send a test mail. The resulting PHPMailer log of that test mail will be output for you to review.
If a constant ‘JUST_SMTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY’ is set, the password will be stored encrypted.
You can define this constant in your wp-config.php file like so (switch out the random string with your own):
define( ‘JUST_SMTP_ENCRYPTION_KEY’, ‘randomstring’ );
Make sure to re-save the password after adding this constant. If the constant value gets changed, the passwords needs to be saved again.
