Simple SMTP Mailer

The Simple SMTP Mailer plugin allows you to easily configure WordPress to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail function.

This should only really be used in a development environment.

Simple SMTP Mailer Settings

• Host: The mail server (Defaults to smtp.gmail.com)
• Username: The username used for connecting to the SMTP server
• Password: The password used for connecting to the SMTP server
• Port: The port to use when sending an email (587, 465 or 25. Defaults to 587)
• Security: The type of encryption security to use when sending an email (TLS or SSL. Defaults to TLS)
• Debug: Enable debugging

All settings can be overridden by assigning array values to the SSMTP_MAILER constant in wp-config.php. This is useful for automating local deployment.

define(
    'SSMTP_MAILER',
    array(
        'host' => emailhost.com,
        'username' => username,
        'password' => password,
        'port' => 25,
        'security' => 'SSL'
    )
);
