This plugin configures WordPress to use a SMTP server when sending emails instead of the default PHP mail()<\/code> function.<\/p>\n\n

It also creates a settings page where you can enter the SMTP server details and authenticatin credentials if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin to the \/wp-contents\/plugins\/<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin from the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Configure the SMTP details from the 'SMTP' settings page<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n
      \n
    1. Upload the plugin to the \/wp-contents\/plugins\/<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin from the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Configure the SMTP details from the 'SMTP' settings page<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
      Will the plugin work with versions prior to 3.0?<\/dt>\n

      I have not tested the plugin with a WordPress version lower than 3.0 so it might or it might not work. You can give it a try.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      I have a plugin that sends out emails but doesn't use SMTP. Why?<\/dt>\n

      Said plugin has to use the WordPress default wp_mail()<\/code> function when sending emails in order for SMTP to work.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      How do I set up the plugin to use the Gmail SMTP?<\/dt>\n

      Use the following settings:<\/p>\n\n

      Host: smtp.gmail.com\nPort: 465\nEncryption: SSL\nUsername: gmail address\nPassword: gmail password<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

      1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n
