Description
Mailai Contact Form was built for founders and business owners who need a reliable way to receive leads without the bloat of traditional form builders. By allowing you to Bring Your Own SMTP, this plugin bypasses the often-unreliable native WordPress mail function and connects directly to your preferred provider (Amazon SES, Google Workspace, SendGrid, or private mail servers).
Built with a performance-first mindset, the form uses Modern Vanilla JavaScript (AJAX) to submit data without refreshing the page, providing a seamless experience for your users.
Key Features:
* BYO SMTP: Total control over your email infrastructure.
* Zero Bloat: No heavy CSS libraries or tracking scripts.
* AJAX Submission: Fast, no-refresh form processing.
* Security Focused: Uses WordPress Nonces and strict sanitization to protect your site.
* SaaS Ready: Designed to work perfectly with modern business environments.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin store my SMTP password securely?
-
Yes. Credentials are saved locally in your WordPress database and are never transmitted to any external servers other than your chosen SMTP host.
-
Do I need a specific SMTP provider?
-
No. You can use any provider that supports standard SMTP protocols (Host, Port, Username, Password).
-
Can I customize the look of the form?
-
To keep the plugin lightweight, the form inherits your theme’s default styles. You can easily add custom CSS to your theme’s stylesheet to tweak the appearance.
