 * I just installed WP Mail SMTP. I’m using a basic mailer and my test emails look
   like they send, but I want to check if any simple setting is recommended to make
   sure contact form emails actually go out reliably. Thanks!

 * hey [@larry111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry111/)
 * I am glad to help.
 * If you make sure you follow the corresponding [mailer guide](https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/a-complete-guide-to-wp-mail-smtp-mailers/),
   and you send a test email from **WP Mail SMTP > Tools **to a couple email addresses,
   you will know if your site is sending emails properly.
 * If test emails go out fine, and you receive them, then you can create a test 
   form and see how it goes.
 * Also, check your email deliverability score here: [https://www.mail-tester.com/](https://www.mail-tester.com/)(
   send a test email from **WP Mail SMTP > Tools **to the email address provided
   by the tool). And you’ll get a report with issues and ways to improve. Sending
   is only one side of the coin, delivering emails is the other one.
 * Please kindly know that WordPress mail sending is not super easy by nature, as
   it is ruled by industry standards like DNS records. Since the idea is preventing
   spammers and bots from sending unwanted email, making things overly simple goes
   against the purpose of securing email sending. On the other hand, it is not that
   techically difficult onces you get to familiarize yourself with requirements,
   steps, terms, etc.
 * I hope this helps
