# Plugin creates wp_posts entry?

 * I’ve been testing the plug-in, and I’m finding something strange; I’m wondering
   if it is a bug or a feature (that old MS Windows gag).
 * I call `wp_mail($address, "New article Test #3", "There's a new article, and 
   it's NOTHING about sports.");` and then look at the wp_posts table in the database.
   Hey! There’s a new entry with my email’s Subject as the post Title and the email’s
   Content is the post Content. FYI, post_status = ‘private’
 * Is your plugin, Post SMTP, using the wp_posts table? Any chance you could clean
   up after yourself and delete these table entries after all the emails are transmitted?

 * Nevermind. I discovered the answer…
 * Yes, for each email sent, a record is placed in the wp_posts table. They are 
   the basis of the plugin’s log file. If you visit Post SMTP in the Dashboard you
   will see a tab for LOG. there you will see all those entries from wp_post showing
   details about the emails sent out. Also, you have the option of deleting all 
   or selected log entries. So you can do your own “clean up”.
