WP_Mail_SMTP Plugin
Quickstart Guide
- Sign in to your dashboard https://yourdomain.tld/wp-admin
- Go to WP Mail SMTP on the left
- Enter a valid email address (at yourdomain.tld) into From Email and SMTP Username
- Enter a name into From Name
- Set SMTP Host to tsr.txtatek.co.nz
- Set Encryption to TLS
- SMTP Port 587
- Authentication ON
- SMTP Password should be set in your WP-Config, for testing purposes you can set it in the SMTP Password feild
- Save Settings
- Go to the Email Test tab and run an email test
Suggestions
- Setup a noreply@yourdomain.tld if you do not wish to allow people to reply to your emails, and set it’s quota to something small so it won’t store emails
- It is a good idea to use Force From Email (see Option 1)
Common Issues
- Your email address is not setup to receive mail (the SMTP server does a lookup to check your mailbox exists and is enabled before it allows you to send mail)
Other Information
- Replace yourdomain.tld with your domain name
