@2-speed, out of curiosity who is your host?
I wrote an article, it’s a first step 😉 http://www.codingmonkey.ca/mail-sent-but-not-received-increase-the-reliability-of-your-wordpress-email/

In reply to: Webhost does not offer phpMail() – Alternatives?Their git support is fantastic for a custom PHP application – WordPress or other.
What you want, as a non-techie, is to install the Managed WordPress application with the MySQL application – no programming knowledge necessary and the 1GB free service should be plenty for your needs. If you need SSL with a custom domain name, you can put a free service from Cloudflare in front of it.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] How to resend failed emails?Would that be great? That implies failures are temporary, and in my experience failures are permanent, because of a bad email address or because the config broke… (eg) your password changed. And that requires operator intervention.

In reply to: [SendPress Newsletters] Postman STMP Integration and Gmail serverOh geez, I sent him here 😉
He said his SendPress SMTP settings are overriding Postman. What does he have to do to configure SendPress to use wp_mail?

In reply to: Webhost does not offer phpMail() – Alternatives?Are there any WordPress plugins which could still send me / relay the message to me
@morethanobsidian Of course. You want an SMTP plugin.

You want an email obfuscator.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/graceful-email-obfuscation/I’m an author for both 😉
There’s no such thing as free hosting.
@liquid-web-design-london That’s an odd thing to say. I use OpenShift myself, but then I’m a developer.
In my opinion you have it backwards.
Since gmail and hotmail are existing, well-known and reputable domains, all their configuration is correct. But if I buy somedomain.com at godaddy I’m to expect they’re going to set it up correctly for me? Not a chance. 😉
this is because most web hosts configure all of the proper/required records automatically
I would love to see even one example where this is true 😀
No messing with any type of records or anything ever. It was all set up automatically.
Cum hoc ergo proper hoc. You can not extrapolate from one case, or a few cases where this works, to all cases. Nor have you tried sending using this domain from every server on the Internet to every server on the Internet. The best you can do is follow the rules as we know them. That’s why we have RFCs!
I understand your frustration, but the reason I even wrote the 20th WordPress SMTP plugin is because the rules keep changing. And I have seen hundreds (I think there are 40 pages of 20 requests on my profile now?) of problems where out of the box, things just don’t work. Sure you might buy a domain, have your host set up the MX, and hit send and off it goes. But in no way does that mean Gmail is going to allow it to find one of its users. If you think that, you don’t realize what a huge (and expensive) problem spam and phishing have become.

It looks like the content-type is wrong in the email ‘with the code’ I bet if you inspect the raw headers it won’t say text/html as it should.
Aww, that’s very kind. How about instead you expunge the trolls from my review section? They ruin my day :-/

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Postman SMTP – no body specifiedThanks for the log. I see the problem. This email specifies a multipart/alternative content-type header, but its contents are plain text/html.

You need to change the content-type to text/html.
