Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

By default, MailPoet sends emails via PHP Mail, its premium MailPoet Sending Service, or services like Amazon SES or SendGrid. But there’s a catch: Some SMTP providers (like Gmail) aren’t supported, and email logging isn’t possible.

➡ This plugin fixes that. It ensures all MailPoet newsletters are sent via your chosen SMTP plugin, so your WordPress email settings apply to newsletters, too – without extra setup or extra costs.

🛠 Works with popular SMTP plugins like:

✅ WP Mail SMTP (by WPForms – the most widely used SMTP plugin)

✅ FluentSMTP (lightweight, free, GDPR-friendly)

)

✅ Easy WP SMTP (simple & reliable)

✅ MailerSend, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), and more

🎯 Why use this plugin?

✔ Ensures MailPoet emails follow your SMTP settings

✔ Works with Gmail & other SMTP providers MailPoet doesn’t support

✔ Enables email logging via your SMTP plugin

⚠ Important notes:

  • Major MailPoet updates may require adjustments.
  • Some advanced MailPoet features (like bounce handling) may behave differently.

✅ Test your setup with MailPoet test emails and real newsletters to ensure everything runs smoothly!
