Simplifies local development by configuring WordPress to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail() function
The Simple SMTP Mailer plugin allows you to easily configure WordPress to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail function.
This should only really be used in a development environment.
Simple SMTP Mailer Settings
- Host: The mail server (Defaults to smtp.gmail.com)
- Username: The username used for connecting to the SMTP server
- Password: The password used for connecting to the SMTP server
- Port: The port to use when sending an email (587, 465 or 25. Defaults to 587)
- Security: The type of encryption security to use when sending an email (TLS or SSL. Defaults to TLS)
- Debug: Enable debugging
All settings can be overridden by assigning array values to the SSMTP_MAILER constant in wp-config.php. This is useful for automating local deployment.
define(
'SSMTP_MAILER',
array(
'host' => emailhost.com,
'username' => username,
'password' => password,
'port' => 25,
'security' => 'SSL'
)
);
