# WDS SMTP Mail Plugin

**Contributors:** chmac, webdevstudios  
**Donate link:** http://webdevstudios.com  
**Tags:** mail, smtp, wp_mail, mailer, phpmailer  
**Requires at least:** 2.7  
**Tested up to:** 4.2.2  
**Stable tag:** 1.0.0

Reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page to manage the settings. Based on WP Mail SMTP.

## Description

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.

## Installation

1. Download
2. Upload to your `/wp-contents/plugins/` directory.
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

### Using Composer

Update `composer.json` with something similar to:

```json
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "git@github.com:WebDevStudios/WDS-SMTP-Mail-Plugin.git"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "WebDevStudios/WDS-SMTP-Mail-Plugin": "dev-master"
    },
    "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "plugins/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-plugin"]
        }
    }
}
```

...and run `composer install` or `composer update`.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function

If other plugins you're using are not coded to use the wp_mail() function but instead call PHP's mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the `mail(` calls with `wp_mail(` (just adding wp_ in front) and this will work. I've tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.

### Will this plugin work with WordPress versions less than 2.7?

No. WordPress 2.7 changed the way options were updated, so the options page will only work on 2.7 or later.

### Can I use this plugin to send email via Gmail / Google Apps

Yes. Use these settings:  
Mailer: SMTP  
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com  
SMTP Port: 465  
Encryption: SSL  
Authentication: Yes  
Username: your full gmail address  
Password: your mail password
