## Maelezo

### WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin

Is your WordPress site or other SMTP plugins not sending emails? You’re not alone.
WP Alternate SMTP sends emails reliably when other SMTP solutions fail.

Our goal is to make email deliverability easy so that your emails always reach the
inbox.

WP Alternate SMTP fixes your email deliverability issues by reconfiguring WordPress
to use a proper SMTP provider when sending emails.

Best of all, our easy-to-use setup allows you to activate the plugin, go to the 
Alternate SMTP settings, and configure multiple SMTP options.

WP Alternate SMTP is free and has everything you need to reliably send your WordPress
emails!

#### What is SMTP?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry standard for sending emails.
Proper SMTP configuration helps increase email deliverability by adding authentication
to the emails sent from your site.

Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, and Zoho continuously battle
email spammers, ensuring emails originate from genuine senders. Without proper authentication,
emails end up in the SPAM folder or disappear entirely.

This is a problem for many WordPress sites. By default, WordPress uses the PHP mail
function to send emails, which often fails because most [WordPress hosting companies](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-hosting/)
don’t configure their servers for PHP emails.

This is why WordPress emails aren’t delivered.

#### How does Alternate SMTP work?

Alternate SMTP resolves email delivery problems by changing how your WordPress site
sends email. It reconfigures the `wp_mail()` function to use proper SMTP host credentials
or an SMTP mail provider.

If any other SMTP plugin is configured and fails, Alternate SMTP will resend the
email via the alternate SMTP settings configured in this plugin.

You can also specify the “from name” and “email address” for outgoing emails.

All these powerful features make Alternate SMTP the best SMTP solution for WordPress.
