Configure SMTP v2.0
I’d like to announce the first official release of the Configure SMTP plugin (v2.0) for WordPress.
Configure and activate SMTP mailing in WordPress.
The plugin’s official homepage is located at :
http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp.
This plugin is the spiritual successor to my wpPHPMailer plugin. While the general premise of both plugins are identical — allowing for the use and configuration of SMTP mailing in WordPress — the internals are different enough that I felt a new plugin was warranted. wpPHPMailer made the PHPMailer library available to WordPress. But since WordPress integrated the PHPMailer package into its core, a large portion of the plugin became obviated. When considering the removal of that burden from the plugin, a complete rewrite of the code, and the now-outdated (and not especially clear) naming of wpPHPMailer, Configure SMTP was born.
This new plugin is part of coffee2code’s 14 Days of Plugins (new plugin #14).
Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
This plugin does not appear to support Gmail. For instance, I use Google Apps to give me several gigabytes of storage and the gmail interface but using @mydomain.com . The rest of the plugin looks good so hopefully you’ll have some time to fix this missing feature.
hey.. I am very pleased.. this plug in worked very well, easily configured and also resolved email html formatting issues.
well done.. .. no kidding.. you jammed out these plugins in 14 days..
wow!
