    Hey guys!

    Since my webhost apparently host blocked the usage of SMTP I can not use the plugin that is suggested in your plugin.
    When using the default wordpress mail out like PHP Mail() it sometimes sends an email to the user and sometimes it doesn’t.

    Don’t really know how to solve the problem.
    Does anyone else has this problem?

    Hi Martin,

    When using the default PHP mail function, the emails are always sent. The issue is that, because of the likelihood of it being marked as spam, sometimes the recipient gets it and sometimes they don’t.

    Are you sure that your host has fully blocked it, or is just an issue with that one plugin? There are other plugins that do the same thing that you could try. If not, you may need to explain your situation to your host and ask them if there’s a way around it.

    Okay, the problem seem to be solved.
    Since the plugin are using the “wordpress@domain.com”-address for sending out emails most hosts limits to 20 emails per day if the email adress is not created.

    In this case I didn’t know that the system were using this email address which caused the problem. Now I created the email address in the system and it seem to work again. Not using SMTP but the PHP Mail().

    So, for all of you who has problems that emails doesn’t arrive to the user or the admin. Add wordpress@domain.com into your web host and it should work!

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you for the information. The plugin doesn’t set the from email address, but rather uses the default wp mail function, which (if it isn’t modified) uses the admin email address set in the WordPress settings.
