Hi,
I’m using the Buddy Boss Theme and I’d love to use WP Mail SMTP, but when the plugin is active, activation emails are not sent to new users. When I deactivate the plugin activation emails work again when creating a new account. Do you know the most likely reason why this problem would occur?
Thank you,
Alyssa Jorgensen

Noticed that upgrading to PHP 7.4 at Crazy Domains hosting and using SendGrid mailer resulted in emails not sending out. Using the Test Email function reports the following error.
“There was a problem while sending the test email.”
Debugging Log:
Versions:
WordPress: 5.3.1
WordPress MS: No
PHP: 7.4.0
WP Mail SMTP: 1.8.1
Params:
Mailer: sendgrid
Constants: No
Api Key: Yes
Email sending works fine by downgrading to PHP 7.3 or lower.

Hello.
The plugin suddenly stopped seeing the php mail: default (none). A test email is not sent.
I checked the mail function from php – the letter is sent.
<?php
$to = ‘xxx@gmail.com’;
$subject = ‘the subject’;
$message = ‘hello’;
$headers = ‘From: xxx@xxx.xx’ . “\r\n” .
‘Reply-To: webmaster@example.com’ . “\r\n” .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
I have php7.3-fpm.
Has anyone else observed such problems with the plugin?

Until version 1.7.1, it worked normally. After update 1.8.1, it does not send any services (PHP, Google, MailGun, SMTP, and others). I tested with PHP 7.3, all services worked except GOOGLE (both “gmail” and “g suite”).
One mistake is that (I use the “g suite”) is that the Google account is not linking. After confirming to Google that you allow emails to be sent on your behalf, you should be redirected back to the plug-in admin area, but loads the site’s main page, and doesn’t activate the linked account button. .
The google email used was always the same, there was no password change, no two factor authentication or anything like that. Email is unique to this service.
Another error is that it always appears that the attempt to send the previous email failed, suggests that you send the test email (using PHP or other SMTP).
What to do, developers? Since the plugin is used by many others to send emails through the site?
================================
Até a versão 1.7.1, funcionava normalmente. Após a atualização 1.8.1, não envia de nenhum serviço (PHP, Google, MailGun, SMTP, e os demais). Fiz testes com o PHP 7.3, todos os serviços funcionaram, menos os GOOGLE (tanto vesão “gmail” quanto “g suite”).
Um dos erros é que (uso o “g suite”) é que a conta do Google não está vinculando. Depois de confirmar para o Google que você permite o envio de e-mails em seu nome, deveri ser redirecionado de volta à área de administração do plug-in, mas, carrega a página principal do site, e não ativa o botão de conta vinculada.
O email do google usado sempre foi o mesmo, não houve nenhum tipo de alteração de senha nem de autenticação de dois fatores ou algo do tipo. O email é exclusivo para este serviço.
Outro erro é que sempre aparece que houve falha na tentativa de envio do email anterior, sugere que faça o envio de email teste (usando PHP ou outro SMTP).
O que fazer, desenvolvedores? Sendo que o plugin é usado por muitos outros para fazer o envio de emails pelo site?

Is there any reason you don’t encrypt passwords before storing them in the database?
The one reason I’ve decided not to use this plugin is because it stores the mail password in plain text.
There are so many great resources that make it a trivial matter to encrypt/decrypt information quickly that I’m having a hard time understanding why you don’t take this simple yet important security measure.

I am using the WP Mail SMTP plugin and Wordfence. The issue is that when Wordfence sends out an email with updates etc the client is also getting a copy of this rather than just me, the site admin. Is there a way to stop that from happening? Under Wordfence general options, there is only my admin email.

Hello,
I choose the SMTP Mailer since my mail could not send.
So I checked the test mail, and the mail also display that it couldn’t be sent too.
Error comes like this:
There was a problem while sending the test email.
An issue was detected.
This means your test email was unable to be sent.
Typically this error is returned for one of the following reasons:
– Plugin settings are incorrect (wrong SMTP settings, invalid Mailer configuration, etc).
– Your web server is blocking the connection.
– Your host is rejecting the connection.
And this is the Error Log for debugging

Hello,
Apparently, messages sent by SMTP are not stored on server, in account’s “sent” folder.
Is there a way for storing somewhere those message sent out by SMTP (except in logs of course)?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am scratching my head on this one. I am getting the error message below.
I have doubled check username/password settings. I have checked with server admin to ensure IP address is whitelisted and I have tweaked SMTP Restriction settings, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Hello!
I’ve been receiving the following error:
Address not found
Your message wasn’t delivered to (username)@yahoo.com because the address couldn’t be found, or is unable to receive mail.
This has happened about 30 times in the last couple of weeks… always Yahoo addresses.
I’m connected with a domain associated with a G Suite account… is that the issue? If so, what would you recommend I do to maximize my sending rate success?
Thank you so much!

Hi, fist of all great plugin!
My issue as many others should have is that at a point gmail loses connection with the plugin (for example when you change password).
My question is: is there a way for the plugin or website to notify you every time it loses connection? At the moment, the only way to notice this issue is if you login the admin dashboard and see the error or if you try to submit the contact form which are both time consuming and i guess no one would go into the trouble to check every day

I am using Pepipost with WP Mail. I have the API key and test emails are successfully sent using the WordPress test function. However, my form submissions are not being received. I have used the email address I validated with pepipost (info@mysite.com) in the “From” address of the web forms. So, I don’t know what I may have missed in the configuration. Any help much appreciated.

I’m not a computer programmer by any stretch, and admitedly these may be questions more for Mailgun, however their support tickets are generating an error every time I try and submit one. Anyway, I thought I had a mailgun SMTP email setup properly. It seems I do not. I have a few issues actually that I’m hoping I can get help with:
1) I installed WP Mail SMTP and the Mailgun client because I’m using a CPanel email account (admin@simsportsgaming.com) for the website and its forum. After seemingly getting the SMTP setup properly, and inserting my Private API , I’m still getting emails kicked back to this address that our domain (simsportsgaming.com) has been flagged for spam. Truthfully, I doubt I have things set properly as I’m quite a novice at all of this.
Within the WP Mail SMTP plugin itself, I have the following information:
From Email: admin@simsportsgaming.com
Force From Email: NOT checked
Return Path: Checked
Mailer: Mailgun
Private API is set from Mailgun website
Domain Name: mg.simsportsgaming.com
Region: US
2) The second issue, is that I suddenly cannot get our forum to send emails to people who are signing up and need authentication, or a password reset, for instance. This has unfortunately gotten messy as I don’t even recall what I had it at before. Nevertheless, here are the setting options in the phpbb forum, but admittedly I’m not sure how to set these so that it properly goes through Mailgun:
Contact Email Address: postmaster@mg.simsportsgaming.com
From Email Address: postmaster@mg.simsportsgaming.com
Force From Email: Checked
Use SMTP: Yes
SMTP Server Address and Protocol: smtp.mailgun.org
SMTP Server Port: (I have tired 25, 587, 465)
Authentication Method for SMTP: ??????
SMTP Username: postmaster@mg.simsportsgaming.com
Verify SSL Certificate: Yes
Verifty SMTP Peer Name: Yes
Allow Self-Signed SSL Certificates: Yes
For what it’s worth, I have never created any sort of “postmaster” email account on my server. I only saw it after going to the SMTP settings page on Mailgun.

Hi,
recently reset password email etc. started to produce “SMTP Error: Could not authenticate” messages. I was using wp-config.php file as instructed on plugin settings page. Test email worked fine. If I set “WPMS_ON” to false in wp-config.php and set password manually to plugin settings page, reset password email will be sent succesfully.
Don’t know is it just me or some bug but wanted to inform about it. WordPress and plugins are latest versions. I’m using smtp.office365.com.

Hi,
I installed and configured the plugin.
With SMTP without encryption it works correctly (port 25).
With SMTP in SSL it does not work (port 465 or 587).
But the parameters are correct because I requested them from my mail provider.
In fact, with Outlook it works in SSL.
What can I do?
Thank you.
