Email Delivery (SMTP)

Route site email through SMTP—better deliverability for forms, WooCommerce, and system messages.

Overview

Email Delivery gives WordPress a more reliable way to send transactional emails through SMTP, dedicated email APIs, Gmail, Microsoft 365, or other supported providers.

Create multiple sending connections, route emails by sender address, assign primary and fallback providers, retry temporary failures, receive delivery alerts, and check the health of your sending domain—all from one WordPress dashboard.

Who is this for?
  • WooCommerce stores that depend on reliable order and customer emails
  • Agencies managing email delivery across client websites
  • Membership, LMS, booking, and form websites sending transactional emails
  • Websites that need API-based delivery because SMTP ports are blocked
  • Businesses using Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Outlook
  • Sites that need multiple providers or sender-based email routing
  • Teams that want retries, fallback delivery, alerts, and delivery tracking

Features

Multiple Email Connections
Create multiple sending connections for different websites, departments, plugins, or sender addresses from one organized dashboard.
From-Based Email Routing
Automatically select the correct connection based on the email’s From address. Use different providers for orders, support, notifications, or other types of email.
Primary Connection
Choose a default provider for messages that do not match a specific sender connection.
Fallback Delivery
Assign a separate fallback provider that can be used when the selected connection experiences a safe, temporary failure before accepting the message.
23 Supported Providers
Connect WordPress to Custom SMTP, popular transactional email APIs, Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Outlook, or PHP Mail.
Transactional Email APIs
Send through providers such as SendGrid, Amazon SES, Mailgun, Brevo, Postmark, Resend, MailerSend, SMTP2GO, Mailjet, and many others.
Gmail and Microsoft OAuth
Connect Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Outlook using OAuth without storing the mailbox password in WordPress.
Custom SMTP
Connect any standard SMTP provider using its host, port, encryption, authentication, username, and password.
Sender Identity Controls
Set the From email and From name for each connection, with options to force those values across WordPress and installed plugins.
Return-Path Control
Match the Return-Path with the From address to support cleaner bounce handling where available.
Send Test Emails
Send HTML or plain-text test messages through the real WordPress email process to confirm that delivery is working correctly.
Immediate Retries
Retry temporary failures caused by timeouts or provider rate limits without waiting for another scheduled process.
Automatic Failed-Email Resending
Automatically retry eligible failed messages when Email Logs and email body storage are enabled.
Failure Alerts
Receive email notifications or send alerts to Slack and Discord when delivery problems occur.
Delivery Webhooks
Receive provider updates for accepted, delivered, bounced, complained, deferred, and rejected emails.
Domain Health Checks
Check the primary sender domain for DNS, MX, SPF, DMARC, and common DKIM records.
Delivery Status Overview
See the current delivery health, number of connections, primary provider, recent success, and recent failure from one overview screen.
Setup Checklist
Follow a simple checklist covering your connection, credentials, From address, test email, Email Logs, and domain DNS.
One-Click SMTP Plugin Import
Import compatible settings from FluentSMTP, Post SMTP, SureMails, WP Mail SMTP, and Easy WP SMTP.
WP Config Support
Keep supported provider keys, OAuth secrets, AWS credentials, and webhook secrets inside wp-config.php when preferred.

Email Reports Integration
Access email performance summaries when the Email Reports module is enabled.

Use Multiple Providers on One Website

Many WordPress mail plugins are built around a single connection.
Email Delivery allows you to create several connections and choose which one should handle each type of message.
Email Delivery compares each message’s From address with the addresses assigned to your connections.
When it finds a match, it uses that connection automatically. If no match exists, the primary connection handles the message.
This gives you flexible routing without changing the plugins that generate the emails.

Primary and Fallback Delivery

Improve Delivery Reliability

Monitor Delivery Problems

Email delivery issues should not remain hidden.
Failure alerts can notify you by email or through Slack and Discord webhooks when sending problems occur.
When delivery webhooks are enabled, supported providers can also send status updates back to WordPress.
This gives you a clearer picture of what happened after WordPress handed the message to the provider.
