WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin
Post SMTP is a next-generation WP Mail SMTP plugin, that assists in the delivery of email generated by your WordPress site. Post SMTP is the first and only plugin to support the
latest security standards. With OAuth 2.0, there is
no need to
store your email passsword in the WordPress database where it might be found.
The
Connectivity Test and intelligent
Setup Wizard scan your SMTP server to detect firewall blocks and eliminate configuration mistakes. The built-in
Email Log is an invaluable resource for
diagnosing problems with emails. Even hosts that block the standard SMTP ports, like GoDaddy or Bluehost, can't stop your email as
Post SMTP can deliver via HTTPS if it can't use SMTP.
Post SMTP is
not another WP Mail SMTP clone like WP Bank or Easy SMTP. It replaces the default WordPress SMTP library, PHPMailer, with the heavy-duty Zend_Mail. Never
lose an email to PHP mail() again.
The Most Fast And Easy
See how fast and easy to setup Post SMTP with Google/Gsuite or any SMTP service.

API (HTTPS) Email Support
- Gmail API for sending Gmail and Google Apps email (requires a Google account)
Often bloggers and small business owners don't want to use third-party SMTP services. Well you can use your Gmail or G Suite account for SMTP emails.
Check the guide I wrote

Mandrill is an email infrastructure service offered as an add-on for MailChimp that you can use to send personalized, one-to-one e-commerce emails, or automated transactional emails.

Mailgun SMTP is a popular SMTP service provider that allows you to send large quantities of emails. They allow you to send your first 10,000 emails for free every month.

SendGrid has a free SMTP plan that you can use to send up to 100 emails per day. With our native SendGrid SMTP integration, you can easily and securely set up SendGrid SMTP on your WordPress site.
Post SMTP needs translators! If you are a non-English speaker, please get involved!
Compatibile With..
Requirements

- OAuth 2.0 features require a Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo mail OAuth 2.0 credentials
Looking for Google Analytics plugin?
If you used Google Analytics Dashboard For WP and you really hate the latest updates, I have forked the original plugin here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/metrics-query/
CREDITS
Post SMTP (aka Postman SMTP) plugin was originally created by Jason Hendriks.
To send email reliably, you must use the SMTP server assigned to that email. If Post is unable to connect to the right SMTP server, you may have to ask your host to open the ports, or create a new email account managed by your host, or switch hosts!
The Connectivity Test utility will tell you which ports are open and the actions available to you.
Easy install and setup! (Recommended for all users)
- Install and activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- In the WordPress 'Settings' menu select 'Post SMTP'.
- Choose 'Start the Wizard' and follow the instructions.
To manually configure Password Authentication (Intermediate users only)
- Choose configure manually
- In 'Transport', choose 'SMTP'
- In 'Outgoing Mail Server Hostname', enter the SMTP Server's hostname
- In 'Outgoing Mail Server Port', enter the SMTP Server's port
- In 'Security' choose the appropriate type (a good guess is SMTPS for port 465, STARTTLS otherwise)
- In 'Authentication', choose the authentication type (a good guess is 'Plain')
- If your Authentication method is not 'None', enter your username (probably your email address) and password.
- Choose the 'Message' tab.
- In 'Envelope From Address' enter your email address. This MUST be the same address you login to webmail with.
- In 'Message From Address' enter your email address. Or this can be an alias, mailing list, or group email if you wish.
- Choose the Save Changes button.
- Send yourself a test email.
To manually configure OAuth 2.0 Authentication (Advanced users only)

- Copy your generated Client ID and Client secret into the plugin's Settings page.
- Choose the 'Message' tab.
- In 'Envelope From Address' enter your email address. This MUST be the same address you login to webmail with.

1.6.8 - 2015-05-14
- [Ticket] Found a PHP envrionment that choked in the catch block trying to call a function (get transcript) on an object instantiated in the try (mail engine). Fixed.

- Added a Dashboard Widget to display Post status
- [Ticket] Added diagnostics check for iconv library
- Moved the SMTP transcript to it's own step in the Send Email Test
- Moved 3rd-party plugin import to the Setup Wizard
- [Ticket|Ticket] Stopped writing to error log if a language file can't be found
- Added the Http User Agent string to the diagnostics
1.5.4 - 2015-03-04 - the Birthday Release
- [Ticket] Added support for the wp_mail filter - this adds compatibility with plugins like email-log
- Better diagnostics - includes a port check on the currently configured host:port
- Fixed a bug where multiple error messages at once overwrite each other
- [Ticket] Fixed a bug in Sanitizer for cases where WordPress calls sanitize twice in a row - known WP bug
1.5.3 - 2015-02-28
- Added a dedicated screen for Diagnostics (so that I can add more intensive, slower-running checks like DNS)
- Fixed port-testing race condition bug in Post Setup Wizard when using Gmail API Extension
- Fix for error "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class PostOAuthTokenInterface" when using Gmail API Extension
- Checks to make sure that the hostname used for SMTP/OAuth 2.0 is one that is supported
- Removed display_errors=On, Mr. Space Cadet here left it in the previous release by accident
1.5.1 - 2015-02-23
- Bugs slipped through. In the Wizard, choosing port 465 was not hiding the authentication label. Worse, choosing port 587 was not showing the authentication buttons.
- In the wizard, if no ports are available for use, the error message was not being displayed.
1.5 - 2015-02-22
- [Ticket|Ticket] Added support for modular transports. The first external transport is the Post Gmail Extension, which uses the Gmail API to send mail out on the HTTPS port, a convenient way around traditional TCP port blocks for Gmail users
- [Ticket] Made my debug logging "less agressive" so that broken systems (those that pipe warning messages to STDOUT regardless of the WordPress WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY setting or PHP's display_errors settings) will no longer experience the Port Test hanging during a check
- Fixed a bug in the Setup Wizard where it would not use OAuth 2.0 on port 587
- Fixed a bug where Post refused to send mail with Password authentication and no encryption (who does that??)
1.4.1 - 2015-02-17
- All text has been externalized in prep for I18N Internationalization and localization
- Fixed a bug where the Setup Wizard would force OAuth 2.0 configuration, instead of falling back to Password, even if the required port was closed
- Added more error checking, and more warning messages.
- Translated into French, thank-you Etienne Provost
1.4 - 2015-02-15
- Happy Valentine's Day! Sending Yahoo email now supported with OAuth 2.0 authentication! If the Wizard detects that a Yahoo server has been entered, it automatically configures OAuth 2.0
- First time users may choose to import settings from any of the Big Four WordPress SMTP plugins (five if you count Easy SMTP Mail, a clone of WP Mail SMTP): Easy WP SMTP, WP Mail Bank, WP Mail SMTP and WP SMTP
- [Ticket] Suppressed warning messages generated by calls to fsockopen - they were causing the remote Ajax queries to hang
- The wizard was resetting some settings by accident, namely Connection Timeout, Read Timeout and Reply-To
- [Ticket] Found an environment where calls to error_log were being displayed in the HTML even after display_errors was disabled. Therefore, disabled error_log calls by default. The log may be re-enabled in Advanced Settings
- The Bad, Post! screen was messing with the Port Test Ajax call when fsockopen generated an error and debug level is set to E_ALL in php.ini. Therefore added a switch in the configuration "Show Error Screen" that is off by default. When it is off, Port Test works perfect but errors generate a WSOD. When it is on, errors are displayed in the "Bad, Post!" screen but Port Test fails.
- I heard that some hosts, like WPEngine, do not allow writing to the Http Session. Well that's balls. I've modified the code to write to the database instead.
1.3.4 - 2015-02-11
- 500 downloads and six 5-star ratings in only three weeks! Cool! 8-)
- Replaced the Google OAuth API with pure PHP code. No more unexpected Google API errors.
- [Ticket] Enabled overriding of the timeouts in the configuration screen. If Post is intermittently sending mail, doubling the TCP Read Timeout may help
- Added the SMTP session transcript output when a test message fails to send.
- Fixed the error: Class 'Zend_Mail_Protocol_Smtp_Auth_Plain' not found in /Post/Post-Mail/Zend-1.12.10/Mail/Transport/Smtp.php on line 198
- Passwords in the database are now Base64-encoded so casual viewing of the database won't reveal them
- Fixed a couple minor database upgrade bugs: for new users who use Password Authentication, and for old users that don't have an expiry token stored
- Added a version shortcode, mostly for promotion of Post on my own websites
- Serveal minor tweaks to the user interface, including focus, style, validation, and enabling/disabling inputs where applicable
1.3.2 - 2015-02-10
- [Ticket] Fixed the error: PHP Fatal error: Call to private PostAuthorizationToken::__construct() This occurs when upgrading from a pre-v1.0 version of Post (when PostAuthorizationToken had a public constructor) to v1.0 or higher
- [Ticket] Fixed the error PHP Fatal error: Class 'Google_IO_Stream' not found in /Post/Post-Auth/google-api-php-client-1.1.2/src/Google/Client.php on line 600 by including Google/IO/Stream.php
- Post now has a modest fatal error screen, rather than a dreaded white screen of death
1.3 - 2015-02-09
- Sending Hotmail/Windows Live/Outlook.com email now supported with OAuth 2.0 authentication! If Wizard detects that a Hotmail server has been entered, it automatically configures OAuth 2.0.
- Separated Authentication input from Encryption input for finer configuration control
- Added additional authentication types: plain and CRAM-MD5. 'basic' became 'login'
- Added Ajax to manual config and wizard screens to allow dynamic OAuth2 redirect url + help text changes in response to hostname changes
- Removed 'Allow Plugin to Override Sender' user input
- Added Online Support link in menu
- Clarified text in 'Run a Port Test' so people won't continue to ask me about connection problems (hopefully)
1.2 - 2015-02-04
- Support for Sender Name and Reply-To. Turns out Google no longer honours the MUA Return-Path header due to Spam. Makes sense, so I've decided not to add a Return-Path field to Post's configuration.
- Support for WordPress filters wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name
- Disable stats-keeping for email sent by the test function
- Minor tweaks to the Wizard to support WordPress v3.9
1.1.1 - 2015-02-03
- [Ticket] Fixed a bug I introduced in 1.1. Thanks to user derrey for catching this one. Zend_Mail crashes when attempting to throw an exception when the 'from' standard header was added as a header : "Zend_Mail_Exception code=0 message=Cannot set standard header from addHeader()"
1.1 - 2015-02-03
- [Ticket] Added support for international characters (the WordPress default is UTF-8) which can be specified with headers or the wp_mail_charset filter
- Added support for multi-part content type which can be specified with headers or the wp_mail_content_type filter
1.0 - 2015-02-02
- Overhaul of the UI - A navigation pane is shown at the top of each page and each major function has been separated into its own screen
- Post now supports sending with basic auth and no auth just like the other SMTP plugins
- Added a Port Test function so users can have peace of mind whether the plugin is failing (never!) or whether the host has firewalled them
- [Ticket] Now supports email headers, such as a text/html content-type
- Now supports email attachments
- Added a warning if the user has configured OAuth but not requested permission from Google
- Added a warning if the user is using Google with Basic auth (or worse) and a suggestion to enable OAuth 2.0
- Recording of successful/failure tally
0.2.7 - 2015-01-29
- Fixed error: "Undefined variable: authorizationToken" was preventing mail delivery outside of the admin screen.
- Fixed warning message that Post couldn't bind to wp_mail immediately after Activation
- Added prerequisite checks to make sure the PHP environment can handle Post
- Moved the screenshots and icons out of /trunk and into /assets
0.2.6 - 2015-01-28
- [Ticket] Fixed "Configure and Authorize the plugin" missing the link address. Thanks to user kaorw for catching ths one.
- [Ticket] Fixed "Warning: Missing argument 2 for update_option()". Thanks to user kaorw for catching ths one. Fixed by calling delete_option instead of update_option().
- [Ticket] Fixed "Fatal error: Call to undefined function str_getcsv()". Thanks to user micb for catching ths one. This function is not available before PHP 5.3. Fixed by replacing str_getdsv() with custom implementation.
0.2.5 - 2015-01-27
- [Ticket] Removed the namespace for users with older version of PHP
- Changed the Post Redirect URI (now includes a trailing ?page=Post) - this means Client ID's from 0.2.4 or earlier MUST be updated with the new Redirect URI or re-created from scratch.
0.2.4 - 2015-01-25
- Fixed issues on servers where the plugin is installed as a symbolic link.
- Better error handling/debugging with php logging and assertions.
0.2.1 - 2015-01-23
- Fixed an environment-specific error that prevented Post reloading the setting screen after sending a test email
0.2 - 2015-01-20
- wp_mail() accepts multiple recipients (array and string)
- display a warning to the user if another plugin is preventing Post from overriding wp_mail
- paired down the external libraries to only what was required - from 3,700 files to just 75
- default Gmail port corrected to 465 - previously 465 was hardcoded but 587 was saved to the database
- Added 'Delete All Data' button to erase the stored tokens
- OpenShift production problem: This environment didn't like the callback and there were possibly invalid characters in the source script
0.1 - 2015-01-19
- First release. Happy Fig Newton Day! It was a grueling week-end, studying PHP and OAuth and Googling like a Boss, but it's done and it works!
