- Latest version? This plugin has been updated in over a year
- Failed to connect to server is not the plugin’s fault. It means there’s a firewall between your server and gmail.
The Gmail API might work for you over port 443, but SMTP on port 465 is out.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Fast and easyNice! Thanks :^)
Postman’s test email is an example of a message that has both text and html parts. It’s content type is “multipart/alternative” which is a MIME extension.
You need to research multipart.
This example seems pretty good (except that there is no html in the html part) – of course you’ll want to substitute wp_mail for mail.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Failed to send any messageInvalid Message From e-mail address
"lbien lbien@gmail.com"Just like it says, this is not a valid email address.
It should be (note the angle brackets):
lbien <lbien@gmail.com>You have two options:
- Update the CF7 contact form From field in the Mail tab or
- Flip the switch in Postman > Advanced Settings > Message > Message From > Email Address > Prevent plugins and themes from changing this

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Failed to send any messageI tried also Postman SMTP but without any change.
Check the Postman log in Tools > Email Log
The reason your contact form 7 fail is failing will be right there.

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Does this work for a multisite?I was aiming for end of October for 1.7 (Mandrill API / SendGrid API)
And then after that is multisite.
Yes. You are sending with an SMTP server that violates this domain’s SPF record, or the SPF record is missing, or your subject/content flag this message as probable spam.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Contact from 7 not delivering message to zoho server@birdog123 Sorry I should have been more clear. What I wrote was intended for the author of the plugin, @yorman. Only the very last line was for you!

In reply to: [Postman SMTP Mailer/Email Log] Currenty Format ErrorYou will have to talk to the Gravity Form people or the Stripe people. Postman only delivers email, it does not generate it.
Note that with brute-force attacks the number of HTTP requests exceeds the number of messages that a simple STMP can handle
Why on earth would you send an email for every failed attempt? Why not just send one per day or one per user per hour or something.
Your plugin turns an attack on the web server into an attack of the mail server.
(This is constructive criticism.. I’m not flaming you….)
Hey Birdog.. FYI Postman 1.7 is in beta and has the Mandrill API integrated.
l am just trying to understand why there is a any need for using SMTP or PHP
SMTP and PHP are completely different technologies. SMTP is an standard Internet protocol for delivering email messages.
As far as I know WordPress uses PHP
PHP is a programming language. WordPress is built with PHP. To send mail, WordPress uses an SMTP mailer built with PHP known as PHPMailer. By default, WordPress configures PHPMailer to send your mail via SMTP to localhost on port 25.
WordPress provides a function known as wp_mail for other plugins to send email via WordPress. SMTP plugins, like the excellent Postman SMTP, provide a way of changing the behavior of wp_mail system-wide.
PHP mail() is a different beast altogether, and doesn’t really have any place inside WordPress, though many plugin authors choose to use it, mostly out of habit or ignorance.

In reply to: Registration emails not sending, while other notifications areIf you use it, you won’t want to use any of the other SMTP plugins, or Manrill.
Wait, what? @weltall and I wouldn’t have found the problem without the SMTP plugin. What do you have against logging all email? It’s best practice.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] woocommerce email issuesYou have configured WP Mail SMTP with localhost:25, except localhost:25 is not a valid mail server for you (“Connection refused”).
Try the setup wizard in Postman SMTP. It’s a little smarter than WP Mail SMTP.
Ideally your email service provider will tell you the SMTP settings to use.
