Unrelated to this plugin.
@atx What settings are you using for Encryption and Authentication?
It’s not “a tiny bit more secure”, it would just look more secure which is a bad thing. I want users to be clear that the password must be stored in plain text for the plugin to work.
You’d need to ask MailGun what settings they need.
You could test the settings in the admin interface first to get them right and then move them into
wp-config.php.This is a commonly asked and answered question. If you’re motivated please read the history. There is no simple solution. I wrote it up here:

I think Google does this automatically as a spam prevention measure.
Do you know much about the translation system in WordPress? A few translations have been submitted, but I’m not sure how to get them working in the plugin. It’s on the list to look into, but I guess it might be a while (or forever) until I get around to it.
No. Not sure what you mean, but I guess it’s not the sort of thing this plugin does.
If you use 2FA with GSuite or Gmail you can create an “app password” for the plugin. That should be more secure. You can also put the password in your
wp-config.phpfile for maximum security.Yes, many users have reported success with Gmail.
@luissolislira What settings are you using for:
* Mailer
* Encryption
* AuthenticationDo you know which version of PHP 7 your host is running?
I can’t remember precisely, but I don’t think STARTTLS is supported by PHPMailer or something like that. I guess I’d have included it originally if it was easy to do.
Bottom line, not on the cards anytime soon.
I don’t think this is possible. Would need a more detailed bug report to be able to investigate further.
@basetraining Did anything change on the server setup? The plugin hasn’t had any functionality changes in many years. But maybe your host switched your PHP version?
I’d guess the issues lies with the form, not this plugin. If the test works, then the plugin is setup correctly. Recommend asking WP Engine support or the folks who make the contact form.
