 * Hi, thanks for your plugin.
   It’s been several years of use, and the sent email
   table has grown significantly.I was wondering if there’s a way via code (a filter
   or a constant override) to connect the plugin to a database other than the one
   hosting the WordPress installation, or better yet, to a remote database.Thanks.

 * Hi [@slier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slier/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * At the moment, WP Mail Logging does not include a built-in feature, filter, or
   constant to store email logs in a separate or remote database. The plugin is 
   designed to use the same database as the WordPress installation.
 * That said, I’d be happy to pass this along to our developers as a feature suggestion.
 * Thanks again for the feedback, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
