## Description

**Onlinefotka SMTP Mail** sends every WordPress and WooCommerce email through your
own SMTP server instead of the unreliable PHP `mail()` function – so order confirmations,
invoices and password resets reach the inbox, not the spam folder.

Everything is included for free – no “Pro” version, no license key.

### Sending

 * **Any SMTP server** – your hosting mailbox, Gmail / Google Workspace, Microsoft
   365, Zoho, Seznam, Brevo, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, Amazon SES, SMTP2GO…
 * **OAuth 2.0 login (no password stored)** – **Google / Gmail / Workspace** (Gmail
   API), **Microsoft 365 / Outlook.com** (Microsoft Graph – no SMTP AUTH needed)
   and **Zoho Mail** (Zoho Mail API). You use your own app (client ID + secret),
   step-by-step setup guide included, tokens are stored encrypted and refreshed 
   automatically
 * **Presets** fill in host, port and encryption with one click
 * **Multiple connections** (up to 10)
 * **Backup connection** – when the primary server fails (outage, wrong password,
   limit reached) the email is immediately sent through the backup connection
 * **Smart routing** – rules send selected emails through another connection, e.
   g. by subject, recipient, From address, custom header or the plugin that sent
   the email
 * **From email and name** – optionally forced for every email, Return-Path set 
   automatically
 * **Background sending** – emails are queued and sent every minute with a limit
   per minute (respects hosting limits, faster checkout)
 * **“Do not send” mode** for staging copies – emails are only logged

### Email log

 * Every email with status (sent / failed / blocked), recipient, subject, connection,
   error message and **the plugin that sent it**
 * Safe preview of the HTML content, headers and attachments
 * **Resend** to the original recipients or to another address, bulk resend
 * Optional **copies of attachments** in a protected folder
 * Filters (status, source, connection, date), search, **CSV export**
 * Automatic cleanup after a chosen number of days

### Tracking & reports

 * **Open and click tracking** for HTML emails (signed redirect links – no open 
   redirect)
 * **Reports** – daily chart, totals, open and click rate, statistics by plugin 
   and by connection
 * **Weekly summary email**
 * Dashboard widget

### Alerts

Get notified when an email cannot be sent: **email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or 
a custom webhook** (JSON). Alerts are throttled and sent in the background.

### Email controls

Turn off WordPress system emails you do not need – comment notifications, new user
emails, password / email change notifications, automatic update emails.

### Tools

 * **Test email** with the complete SMTP conversation (passwords hidden) and plain-
   language advice for common errors
 * **Connection check** – connect and log in without sending an email
 * **Domain check** – MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records with advice
 * **Import from WP Mail SMTP** including the password
 * **wp-config.php constants** – ideal for agencies managing many sites, passwords
   never stored in the database
 * **WP-CLI**: `wp ofsm test`, `wp ofsm queue`, `wp ofsm log`, `wp ofsm stats`, `
   wp ofsm resend`, `wp ofsm report`

### Security

 * Passwords are encrypted (libsodium) with a key derived from your wp-config.php
   salts – never stored next to the encrypted value
 * Passwords are hidden in the SMTP conversation
 * Capability checks and nonces on every action, all output escaped
 * Email previews are rendered in a sandboxed iframe
 * Stored attachments are protected from direct access and downloaded only by administrators
 * CSV export is protected against formula injection

### Privacy

The email log stores recipients and (optionally) the content of emails in your own
database. Open and click tracking processes personal data – mention it in your privacy
policy or keep it turned off. No data is sent to Onlinefotka or any third party;
alerts are sent only to the channels you configure.

### External services

The plugin connects to third-party services only when you configure them:

 * **Google Gmail API and Google OAuth** (accounts.google.com, oauth2.googleapis.
   com, gmail.googleapis.com) – used when a connection of the type “Google” is set
   up: to authorize your mailbox and to send each email (recipients, subject, content
   and attachments are sent to Google). [Terms](https://policies.google.com/terms),
   [Privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
 * **Microsoft identity platform and Microsoft Graph** (login.microsoftonline.com,
   graph.microsoft.com) – used for connections of the type “Microsoft 365 / Outlook”
   to authorize the mailbox and send each email. [Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement),
   [Privacy](https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement)
 * **Zoho Accounts and Zoho Mail API** (accounts.zoho.*, mail.zoho.*) – used for
   connections of the type “Zoho Mail” to authorize the mailbox and send each email(
   attachments are uploaded to Zoho). [Terms](https://www.zoho.com/terms.html), 
   [Privacy](https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html)
 * **Your SMTP server** – for SMTP connections the emails are delivered to the SMTP
   server you enter.
 * **Slack, Discord, Telegram or your own webhook URL** – only if you enter them
   as alert channels: when an email fails, the site name, subject, recipient and
   error message are sent there. Slack: [Terms](https://slack.com/terms-of-service),
   [Privacy](https://slack.com/trust/privacy/privacy-policy); Discord: [Terms](https://discord.com/terms),
   [Privacy](https://discord.com/privacy); Telegram: [Terms](https://telegram.org/tos),
   [Privacy](https://telegram.org/privacy)

The domain check in Tools only performs DNS lookups of the domain you enter. No 
data is ever sent to Onlinefotka.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `onlinefotka-smtp-mail` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install 
    the ZIP via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Go to **SMTP Mail  Settings  Connections** and fill in your SMTP server (or pick
    a preset), or choose Google / Microsoft 365 / Zoho and click **Connect**
 4. Go to **SMTP Mail  Tools** and send a test email

## FAQ

### Can I use it together with another SMTP plugin?

No – only one plugin can send emails. Import the settings (Tools  Import from WP
Mail SMTP), send a test email and deactivate the other plugin.

### How does the backup connection work?

If sending through the primary connection fails, the same email is sent right away
through the backup connection. The log shows which connection was used and why the
primary failed.

### Which value do I use for “Sent by plugin” in smart routing?

The plugin folder name shown in the Source column of the email log, for example `
woocommerce` or `contact-form-7`.

### How do I define the settings in wp-config.php?

See **SMTP Mail  Tools  Settings in wp-config.php** for a ready-made example. Supported
constants: `OFSM_SMTP_HOST`, `OFSM_SMTP_PORT`, `OFSM_SMTP_SECURE`, `OFSM_SMTP_AUTOTLS`,`
OFSM_SMTP_AUTH`, `OFSM_SMTP_USER`, `OFSM_SMTP_PASS`, the same with `OFSM_BACKUP_SMTP_`
for the backup connection, `OFSM_FROM_EMAIL`, `OFSM_FROM_NAME`, `OFSM_FROM_EMAIL_FORCE`,`
OFSM_FROM_NAME_FORCE`, `OFSM_RETURN_PATH`, `OFSM_DO_NOT_SEND`, `OFSM_QUEUE`, `OFSM_ALERT_EMAIL`
and `OFSM_CRYPTO_KEY`.

### I changed the security keys in wp-config.php and the password stopped working

Passwords are encrypted with a key derived from the salts in wp-config.php. After
changing them, enter the SMTP password again (the plugin shows a notice). Define`
OFSM_CRYPTO_KEY` to use your own fixed key.

### Background sending does not send anything

It relies on WP-Cron, which runs only when someone visits the site. On low-traffic
sites add a real cron job on the server that calls `wp-cron.php` every minute, or
run `wp ofsm queue`.

### Does it support Gmail / Microsoft 365 / Zoho login with OAuth?

Yes. Choose the connection type Google, Microsoft 365 / Outlook or Zoho Mail, follow
the setup guide shown in the connection (create your own app, copy the Client ID
and secret, add the redirect URI), save and click **Connect**. Emails are then sent
through the provider API – for Microsoft 365 SMTP AUTH does not have to be enabled.
OAuth connections can be used as the primary connection, the backup connection or
in smart routing.

### My Google connection stops working after a week

The Google app is in “Testing” mode. Set the publishing status of the OAuth consent
screen to “In production” (or use the “Internal” user type in Google Workspace) 
and connect again.

### Microsoft 365 stopped sending after many months

The client secret of your Entra app expired. Create a new secret, paste it into 
the connection, save and click **Reconnect**.

### What happens on uninstall?

Settings, the email log, the queue, stored attachment copies and scheduled events
are deleted.
