Please I need to make it work!
Hi lsanarg,
I’m sorry but we don’t support 3rd party plugin compatibility yet, those are millions and we can’t learn so many scripts. We’ll add this plugin in our to-do list and check it in near future.
Do you know a similar plugin that works with wpDiscuz?
Hi Isanarg,
I can recommend Postman SMTP mailer. It’s very good. I am using it with gmail at the moment, but the next major update should also have Mandrill support.
Thanks Chris, any compatibility issues with wpDiscuz?
You are welcome Isanarg. It works fine. Just a few things that might help. You need to click the reconfirm link in the confirmation email sent by WP Discuz. The settings I use in Postman SMTP for gmail are the following:
Transport: SMTP
Outgoing Mail Server Hostname: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587
Security: STARTTLS
Authentication: OAuth 2.0
First you need to create a Google API client ID. It’s described in the Postman plugin FAQs.
Authorized JavaScript origins: http://yoursite.com
Authorized redirect URI: http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=postman
Then install the plugin and run the Wizard which walks you through the configuration and connectivity tests.
You might not wan’t to send your mails through gmail, but it’s a robust service and the mails are delivered in the primary inbox folder, not in spam or elsewhere. The plugin author mentioned not long ago though that Mandrill is coming soon, so you might set it up and test it out in the meantime and wait for Mandrill. The plugin supports both traditional passwords and OAuth 2.0 protocol for Google, Yahoo and Hotmail. It also works with various form plugins such as WP HTML Mail, Contact Form 7 or Gravity Forms.
I’ve tried Postman SMTP (the testmail is working) but it doesn’t work with WPdiscuz. I don’t want to use the internal mail function of WordPress, because it’s to limited and I’m already using the Amazon SES Mail Services for my newsletters (MailPoet).
I’ve tried Postmatic as well, but the the optin system is a little strange, because you have to reply with “agree” to the optin notification instead of clicking on a simple confirmation link.

Why do you say that? Do the wpDiscuz emails not appear in the Postman Email Log?
