G-SMTP is a next Generation SMTP-plugin built to last. This is a plugin that helps you send your e-mails via SMTP, and only that.<\/p>\n\n

All the SMTP-details are setup as constants via wp-config.php, making it stable and does not have to rely on the database for the e-mails to be delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install the plugin either through your web browser in the WordPress admin panel or manually through SFTP\/FTP.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin<\/li>\n
  3. Setup the constants in wp-config.php<\/code> as described below or use the configuration page at Settings > G-SMTP > Config<\/strong> to generate them<\/li>\n
  4. Test the settings by going to Settings > G-SMTP<\/strong> and sending a test e-mail<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Constants<\/h4>\n\n

    These are the base constants needed to make the plugin work:<\/p>\n\n

    define( 'G_SMTP_ENABLED', true );\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_HOST', 'my-smtp-host.com' );\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_PORT', 25 );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Below, you will find information regarding the different constants available:<\/p>\n\n
    Activated\/deactivated (mandatory)<\/strong>\nThis sets if the SMTP-connection should be enabled or not. It can be used for debugging-purposes and should be left as true generally.<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_ENABLED', true );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Host (mandatory)<\/strong>\nHere you enter which domain\/IP-address where the SMTP-service is hosted.<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_HOST', 'my-smtp-host.com' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Port (mandatory)<\/strong>\nHere you enter what port the SMTP-service is hosted on. Generally the ports 25<\/code> (non encrypted), 465<\/code> (SSL) and 587<\/code> (TLS) are used.<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_PORT', 25 );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Encryption (optional)<\/strong>\nThis defines if an encrypted connection should be used when connecting to the SMTP-service. Normally you should enter ssl<\/code> if the port is 465<\/code>, tls<\/code> if the port is 587<\/code> and leave it empty if the port is 25<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n
    \/\/ TLS connections (port 587)\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'tls' );\n\n\/\/ SSL connections (port 465)\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_ENCRYPTION', 'ssl' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Username and password (optional)<\/strong>\nIf the SMTP-service requires authentication then you must enter username and password.<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_USER', 'username' );\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_PASSWORD', 'password123' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    Sender, name and e-mail (optional)<\/strong>\nIf you want to override the sender name and e-mail address you can enter these settings.<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_FROM_NAME', 'Sender name' );\ndefine( 'G_SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS', 'sender@sender.com' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    This overrides the default settings<\/strong>, if plugins have other settings then those will be used.<\/p>\n\n
    If you want name and e-mail address to always be overriden then you can use this setting:<\/p>\n\n
    define( 'G_SMTP_FORCE_FROM', true );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n
