SMTP.com

Description

SMTP.com was the first company to provide email delivery at scale for customers unsatisfied with traditional sending methods. With over 22 years of email delivery success, SMTP.com is the trusted transactional and email relay provider for over 100,000 businesses worldwide. This WordPress integration for SMTP.com enables you to send and track your emails seamlessly.

Don’t worry about maintaining your email server or taking care of its IP reputation, forget about dealing with ISPs like Gmail, Yahoo or Microsoft in attempting to understand why your email isn’t reaching its destination. SMTP.com manages all this on your behalf. Simply create a SMTP.com account to get started and set up this plugin. Although this plugin is free you will need a paid subscription with SMTP.com to send emails from your WordPress site.

You can send emails from your WordPress site using the SMTP.com API or the standard SMTP protocol. Our plugin will suggest the best way for you to send email even if your provider has restricted access to outbound internet ports. Either way, SMTP.com will still ensure your email gets delivered.

Another useful feature provided with our WordPress plugin is the ability to track your email delivery from within the plugin itself. See the results of your recent sends to ensure successful delivery or identify the reason why your particular email hasn’t been delivered.

This was difficult to set up. It is not clear how to set the DNS settings so after many tries we managed to slog through and get it right. However . . . If you need to cancel this service for a client, SMTP.com will ask you why. So you type out the reasons why. Then they will ask you if you want a 10% discount to stay like they never never read all the info you just gave them, not if you reconsider we could offer you. . . . When you say thank you but no we need to cancel. They then come back with the 30 day policy which doesn’t mean that it’s 30 days from the day you write asking to cancel so you might get one more invoice; NO, it’s 30 days from the invoice that you haven’t received yet. So it’s more like a 7 week cancellation process (In our case), thus two more monthly payments. In the end after trying to be super nice and complementary about the service they weren’t very nice. There are other SMTP services out there that are easier to use and have great support. Also if your host truncates the number of e-mails you can send an hour it might take a very long time to get a lot of e-mails sent out. We had to set it to 50 e-mails an hour. If you are sending high volume and need it to be in a timely manner and have a host that puts a check valve on the number of e-mails you can send out . . . you might want to consider an alternative. And on exit we felt screwed.

Didn’t work with the API key, but managed with the login information.

Tried using my SMTP credentials associated within my SMTP.com account, as well as the API associated with my account (even generated a new API) and it doesn’t authenticate with their services. This plugin is useless waste of time installing.

If you subscribe to smtp.com be warned that this service charges a 30-day cancellation fee for absolutely no functional or practical reason other than to extort money from you.

I used to pay for other plugins to use SMTP.com service until i found this official plugin and immediately switched. However, it’s important that you (developers) provide an option to change “Email From” details. Right now, it’s just use the default email which is not the right always!!!!
