Description
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit connects MailPoet’s supported Web Host / PHPMail sending path to WordPress wp_mail(), so the WordPress mail or SMTP plugin already configured on your site can handle the downstream mail path.
The Free version includes the complete functional and safety-critical bridge:
- Routes supported MailPoet mail through WordPress
wp_mail(). - Preserves supported message content and headers required by the bridge.
- Protects against recursive re-entry.
- Handles recipient-specific and broader send failures safely.
- Applies compatibility safeguards and fails closed when the required MailPoet integration path cannot be used safely.
- Provides useful bridge status in WordPress admin.
No paid license is required for the bridge itself.
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Pro
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Pro adds optional assurance and troubleshooting tools around the same bridge:
- Test My MailPoet Stack
- Bridge Setup Check
- Send Path Inspector
- Configuration Drift Detection
- Detailed compatibility and health information
- Bridge heartbeat and activity assurance
- Recent Bridge Issues
- Advanced diagnostics
- Sanitized Support Report
- Direct email support
Pro is not required for MailPoet-to-wp_mail() routing, message/header preservation, recursion protection, safe failure handling, or compatibility fail-closed protection.
What Tech Dragon Mail Conduit is not
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit is not an SMTP service and does not replace your existing WordPress mail or SMTP plugin. It does not store or configure your SMTP credentials, manage SPF/DKIM/DNS authentication, manage sender reputation, or guarantee provider acceptance, email delivery, or inbox placement.
MailPoet is a third-party product. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit is not an official MailPoet product and does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by MailPoet.
Requirements and tested compatibility
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit 1.0.0 requires WordPress 7.1 or later and PHP 8.1 or later. Release validation includes PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.4.
The officially tested MailPoet range for Tech Dragon Mail Conduit 1.0.0 is MailPoet 5.38.0 through 5.39.0 inclusive. A MailPoet version outside that tested matrix may still pass the plugin’s structural compatibility safeguards, but it is not automatically considered officially tested.
Installation
- Install and activate Tech Dragon Mail Conduit.
- In MailPoet, configure the supported Web Host / PHPMail sending method.
- If you want MailPoet messages handled by an SMTP/API mailer, make sure your existing WordPress mail or SMTP plugin is already configured normally.
- Open the Tech Dragon Mail Conduit admin page and verify the bridge status.
- Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Pro users may optionally run Test My MailPoet Stack and the additional validation tools.
Do not configure SMTP credentials in Tech Dragon Mail Conduit. Provider credentials belong in your existing WordPress mail or SMTP plugin.
FAQ
-
What does Tech Dragon Mail Conduit do?
-
It routes supported MailPoet messages from MailPoet’s Web Host / PHPMail sending path into WordPress
wp_mail(). Your existing WordPress mailer can then handle the downstream mail path. -
Is Tech Dragon Mail Conduit an SMTP plugin?
-
No. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit is a bridge into the WordPress mail pipeline. It does not provide its own SMTP transport or email service.
-
Does it replace my existing SMTP or mail plugin?
-
No. It is designed to work with the WordPress mail setup you already use. Once a supported MailPoet message reaches
wp_mail(), your configured WordPress mail/SMTP plugin or the normal WordPress mail path handles what happens next. -
Does Tech Dragon Mail Conduit store SMTP credentials?
-
No. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit does not store or configure SMTP usernames, passwords, API keys, or other provider credentials.
-
Does the Free version include the complete bridge?
-
Yes. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Free includes the complete functional and safety-critical MailPoet-to-WordPress-mail bridge. Pro is not required for routing, message/header preservation, recursion protection, safe failure handling, or compatibility safeguards.
-
What does Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Pro add?
-
Pro adds optional verification, monitoring, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and support tooling, including Test My MailPoet Stack, Bridge Setup Check, Send Path Inspector, Configuration Drift Detection, detailed compatibility and health information, bridge activity assurance, Recent Bridge Issues, advanced diagnostics, a Sanitized Support Report, and direct email support.
-
Does Tech Dragon Mail Conduit guarantee email delivery or inbox placement?
-
No. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit bridges and can validate the local WordPress send path within its documented scope. Provider acceptance, DNS authentication, sender reputation, filtering, delivery, and inbox placement are outside that scope.
-
Which MailPoet versions are supported and tested?
-
Tech Dragon Mail Conduit 1.0.0 is officially tested with MailPoet 5.38.0 through 5.39.0 inclusive. Versions outside that matrix may still be structurally compatible, but they are not automatically considered officially tested.
-
Is this an official MailPoet plugin?
-
No. MailPoet is a third-party product. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit is an independent integration and does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by MailPoet.
-
What happens if Pro is deactivated or the license expires?
-
The Free bridge remains the complete functional and safety-critical bridge. Pro entitlement controls the optional Pro validation, monitoring, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and direct-support features; it does not gate the core MailPoet-to-
wp_mail()bridge. -
Where can I get support?
-
Free users can use the community support resources provided with the WordPress.org listing. Tech Dragon Mail Conduit Pro includes direct email support.
