Service providers such as Amazon SES are reliable and have complete infrastructure for email delivery.
We recommend configuring the following email service providers:
- Amazon SES
- SendGrid
- Mailgun
- Postmark
- Elastic Email
You can integrate your email service provider with these plugins.
WP Offload SES Lite, WP Mail SMTP, Postmark for WordPress, or Elastic Email Sender effortlessly configure your WordPress site to send all the emails using the provider’s direct API.
These plugins resolve your email delivery issues by reconfiguring the wp_mail () function to either make use of proper SMTP host credentials or leverage the built-in SMTL email provider.
Now, even if your web hosting server is blocking the SMTP ports, your emails will still be sent successfully.
📝 Quick Note: You can use Gmail, Outlook or other email service to send emails. However, Gmail imposes a daily sending limit of 2000 emails/day and 500 email/day for trial account.
As long as your email volume is within that limit, everything will work smoothly. If you plan to send more emails, we recommend either using an external ESP for better scalability or setting up a daily email limit within FunnelKit Automations to avoid sending issues.
