Hi,

I am hosting my blog on Digital Ocean’s VPS through Cloudways interface. They do not have a mail server built into their system. Due to this, my WordPress and the plugins are not able to send any notifications.

Can you please guide me on how I can work around this problem and force WordPress and plugins to send me emails using some protocol etc.

Need help.

My blog is http://insidepakistan.pk

You can use Postman SMTP plugin to solve this issue: https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/

You can use it with your Gmail to make it work. See installations instructions here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/installation/

If you face any issues open a thread it plugin’s forum. Hope it helps.:)

For WordPress to send mail it does it through PHP Mail function which does not work that well and sometimes fails or can take it’s time to send emails.

Thanks a lot for guidance. This plugins works out of the box and now my email is being delivered perfectly.

@javawpscript
You seem to be new to WordPress. The mail function never gave me any problem in last 5 years at least. Current issue is due to absence of mail server on my host.

@fahad1112, Try to avoid telling people that they’re newbies at the technology that they’re trying to support you with. It doesn’t go down well and is provocative.

I don’t do it usually but the reply was irrelevant. It looks as if the poster didn’t even read my concern.

Leaving that aside, your point is noted for future compliance.
