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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records WP Mail SMTP SendGrid Edition version 1.4.0 as active, updated 2y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.6.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page that allows you to specify various options.
You can set the following options:
Specify the from name and email address for outgoing email.
Choose to send mail by SMTP or PHP’s mail() function.
Specify an SMTP host (defaults to localhost).
Specify an SMTP port (defaults to 25).
Choose SSL / TLS encryption (not the same as STARTTLS).
Choose to use SMTP authentication or not (defaults to not).
Specify an SMTP username and password.
Also adds subject to headers for SendGrid Activity Screen. SengGrid is a powerful SMTP service, however it’s Activity Log screen misses the message subjects. Our plugin adds that back in!
