Hi there @yleventhal,
The scheduled actions in WP Mail SMTP are there to handle automated tasks. For instance, the one you’re referring to (wp_mail_smtp_process_debug_events_cleanup) is there to help maintain the debug logs. These logs are used to capture information when an email fails. If you disable these actions, it may cause issues with the plugin.
Regarding the spam issue you are seeing, the best way to stop spam is to stop it at the source, such as contact forms. Using things like captchas can greatly help mitigate spam bots attacking your forms.
In case it helps, WPBeginner has an article with several tips for stopping spam: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-block-contact-form-spam-in-wordpress/
I hope that helps! Have a great day!
Hi there @seanconklin,
Thanks for reaching out! We record this as an error because your site is still attempting to send the email. The code snippet only removes the To address, but the email creation and delivery process is still ongoing. Or, to put it another, it’s the same as dropping an envelope in the mail without an address to send it to. The postal service still receives the letter and has to do something with it.
What you would need to do is prevent WordPress from creating the email. Check out this section of the WordPress Developer Resources. There is an example posted that may help you out:

I hope that helps! Have a great day!

Hi there @theroadlesswritten,
Thanks for the response. Since you’re getting a success message, it means we’re not receiving an error back from your mailer. This could mean either:
- The mailer is receiving the email from your site, but is not sending the email for some reason
- There is a conflict with another plugin that is intercepting the message before it can be handed off
There are a couple of things you can try. The first would be to check with your mailer and see if the emails are actually getting there. If you’re using something like SendLayer or Brevo, you can log into the account to check your transactional email logs. If you see your test emails in the logs, it means they made it that far and you’ll need to reach out to the mailer service to find out why they are not going to your inbox.
If you don’t see the emails in your mailer service email logs, it means the emails likely didn’t get that far. In that case, you may have a conflict on your site. You could disable the other plugins on your site and then try sending another test email again. If it makes it through, turn the plugins back on one at a time and send test emails each time until they stop making it through. That would tell you which plugin is conflicting.
I hope that helps! Have a great day!
Hi there @sinapars,
Our plugin uses core WordPress functionality, and since WordPress handles the proxy functions, we should be able to connect to outside providers. However, SMTP uses a different approach and which it looks like WP Core does not handle. As one of our developers found, SMTP doesn’t work well with proxies and PHP only supports HTTP proxies. This is why we’re suggesting that you try connecting with a transactional mailer. You could use a free SendLayer plan or one of the other mailer services we connect with.
I hope that helps! Have a great day!
Hi there @devworlds,
Thanks for reaching out. Under WP Mail SMTP > Misc you will find a feature that says Do Not Send. If you enable that option, WP Mail SMTP will not send email.
Please note that it will stop all emails from the site, not just from that user, but we do not have a built-in feature to stop emails related to a specific user.
I hope that helps! Have a great day!
Hi there @theroadlesswritten,
Thanks for reaching out! We’ll need more information to help sort out what’s happening. When you get a moment, can you let us know which mailer you are using?
Also, try sending a test email from the Email Test feature under WP Mail SMTP > Tools >Email Test. When you send a test message, if we receive an error back from the mailer service it should be displayed. Let us know what the error message says.
Thanks!
Hi @ventio,
Thanks for the response. I checked in with our developers and it looks like this is an issue they are aware of. However, it’s not an issue we’re able to resolve as it is coming from a vendor library. Basically, the vendor has to update the library to address this.
That said, the error is a deprecation notice and won’t cause any issues.
I hope that help! Have a great day!
Hi there @ventio,
Thanks for reaching out! Which version of WP Mail SMTP are you running? If you can let us know, that should help.
Thanks!
Hi there @sinapars,
Thanks for the response. We’re looking further into this. I’ll let you know what we find out. In the meantime, you can try switching to a different mailer such as Brevo to see if that gets around the issue.
I’ll be back in touch soon when we have more details from what we find.
Have a great day!
