• Ask HN: What is the best WordPress plugin for transactional email service?

  Are you looking to send emails through the server directly ? You should never do that. Instead, you first need to choose an SMTP provider (mailgun, postmark etc) and then use a WOrdPress plugin that can use that SMTP. I highly suggest using this one : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Google tells me I have 3k+ WP form entries, but I don't see any in my mailbox. All spam?

  I suggest a plugin like WP Mail SMTP (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/) and set up the website to send email using SMTP. Source: 11 months ago

• Problem with system mail going to junk / spam. Outlook cannot verify identity of sender.

  Typically you'd need to be making sure your site is configured to send email through your actual mail server, using something like WP Mail SMTP. Source: over 1 year ago

• [HELP] Issues with sending emails - looking for Gmail plugin

  My organization, a non-profit, uses Gsuite for email, so I'm thinking sending via that server might be all around a better idea. I see WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin and some others in the plugin repository that look like they might do what I'm looking for. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Sendinblue vs. Sendgrid (or other SMTP servers), what is your choice for low volume, high importance?

  I also want to recommend the WP Mail SMTP plugin. It makes setting up email really easy, including swapping out email services. I'm not sure how you'd integrate it into a custom app, but I'm sure it can be done. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Self-hosted email is the hardest it's ever been, but also the easiest

  Another solution to this problem is relaying through services which will do the heavy lifting for you (this was been discussed in the original thread, here and in the article I wrote). So far people have suggested - ImprovMX (https://improvmx.com) - Mailgun (https://mailgun.com) As any others come in I will update this comment (until I can't, anyway) and the article as a reference. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Anyone else getting bombarded with invoice spam emails? I’m using a custom domain. These have been relentless for months.

  Sure. I have an account with mailgun, though I have heard good things about sendgrid as well. It costs me $35/mo, but I use the account as part of the management of a phpbb forum I host, but I have a patreon for that that covers the expenses. If I didn't have that patreon, I would have to think pretty hard about how to proceed. Source: over 1 year ago

• SWBC wants to spoof emails in our domain to our customers, and wants us to add them to our SPF records

  As you can see, "mailgun.com" the "leading email delivery service for companies around the world" is included in their SPF despite not being them, precisely so they can spoof being Edward Jones, presumably in some marketing effort:. Source: almost 2 years ago
