    Having similar problems to some users here.

    WPMandrill stopped working around a month ago.

    When I log into WP I can see all my notifications in Gravity forms, but WPMandrill is not sending the emails through to me.

    As reported here, I’ve removed the Yoast plugin which some users were having problems with.

    Tried several tests in the WPMandrill settings page but still get the same message:

    Test executed: 0 emails sent, 0 emails queued and 0 emails rejected

    If this carries on much longer I will just have to uninstall Mandrill.

    WPMandrill plugin didn’t work for me at all. I used this plugin instead: http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-ses-and-dkim-mailer/ and inputted the Smtp settings from my mandrill account and now all my WordPress emails are being sent successfully. If you need help setting things up, let me know and I’d be happy to help. Fyi.. I tested multiple solutions to redirect wordpress emails through mandrill and the amazon ses and dkim mailer plugin is the only one that worked like a charm. Also works great with amazon ses by the way which it was designed for. You can also setup dkim signature for emails if you don’t use the mandrill smtp. Very useful and configurable plugin. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Mark.

    WPMandrill was working like a dream up until some time in January.

    Obviously there’s some serious conflicts going on somewhere.

    I, however don’t have the time or inclination to troubleshoot this so I’m grateful for your tip on the Amazon plugin.

    I’ll give it a go and let you know how I get on.

    Many thanks!

    Hi Mark,

    I had a look at the Amazon plugin but I didn’t want to sign up for an AWS account.

    However, I’ve managed to get my email working with a service called MailJet.com

    They are exactly the same business model as Mandrill, including a free account with 6000 free emails/month.

    The big difference is that MailJet works. Mandrill is still broken on WordPress

    So I will be uninstalling WPMandrill as nobody has got back to me from their support team.
