Tahhan JMAP Mailer

Tahhan JMAP Mailer replaces WordPress’s built-in mailer with the modern JMAP protocol (RFC 8620 / RFC 8621). JMAP is the successor to IMAP and SMTP, designed from scratch for the modern web. It communicates over standard HTTPS, works through firewalls and NAT without any special port configuration, and is natively supported by leading mail servers such as Stalwart Mail Server, Fastmail, and Cyrus IMAP.

Unlike SMTP plugins that require relay credentials, third-party services, or open ports, Tahhan JMAP Mailer connects directly to your own JMAP-capable mail server using HTTP Basic authentication over an encrypted HTTPS connection. The JMAP session is auto-discovered from /.well-known/jmap — no manual API URL configuration needed.

Tahhan JMAP Mailer is built as a proper WordPress plugin: it uses wp_remote_get/post, WP_Error, WordPress nonces, and the standard sanitization and escaping APIs throughout. There are zero external PHP dependencies. It hooks into pre_wp_mail to intercept every wp_mail() call site-wide and deliver the email through a two-step JMAP pipeline: Email/set to create the email object, followed by EmailSubmission/set to submit it for delivery.

Every send attempt is logged (recipient, subject, status, JMAP IDs) in a capped mail log — message bodies are never stored. The plugin ships with a full admin UI including a setup wizard, live connection testing, multi-account management, conditional routing rules, a retry queue with exponential backoff, open tracking, CSV log export, and WooCommerce email type detection.
