Description
eMail Logs logs every email sent through wp_mail() — WordPress core, WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, and any other plugin that uses the standard mailing API — into a dedicated, indexed database table (never wp_posts), so it stays fast even at hundreds of thousands or millions of logged emails.
Features
- Zero configuration — logging starts automatically on activation.
- Dedicated, indexed database table with a FULLTEXT search index.
- Fast, filterable, sortable admin log table with keyset (seek) pagination.
- Full email viewer: headers, HTML/plain text, attachments, SMTP response, source detection.
- Resend any logged email, with the option to edit recipients/subject/body first.
- CSV and JSON export, filtered or full.
- Automatic retention cleanup, configurable per site.
- REST API (
kaiizenml/v1) and WP-CLI commands (wp kaiizenml list|view|delete|cleanup|export). - No premium tier, no telemetry, no tracking, no ads, no upgrade nags.
Free forever
Every feature in Kaiizen Mail Log is available for free, with no artificial limits.

FAQ
-
Does this store logs in wp_posts?
-
No. Kaiizen Mail Log uses its own dedicated table (
{prefix}kaiizenml_logs) with purpose-built indexes, so it stays fast at high volume and never bloats your posts table. -
Is anything sent externally?
-
No. Kaiizen Mail Log has no telemetry, tracking, or external requests of any kind.
