3
+ Plugin Name: Configure SMTP
4
+ Version: 2.5
5
+ Plugin URI: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp
6
+ Author: Scott Reilly
7
+ Author URI: http://coffee2code.com
8
+ Description: Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending e-mail via GMail.
9
+
10
+ This plugin is the renamed, rewritten, and updated version of the wpPHPMailer plugin.
11
+
12
+ Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle *outgoing* e-mails.
13
+ It offers you the ability to specify:
14
+
15
+ * SMTP host name
16
+ * SMTP port number
17
+ * If SMTPAuth (authentication) should be used.
18
+ * SMTP username
19
+ * SMTP password
20
+ * If the SMTP connection needs to occur over ssl or tls
21
+
22
+ In addition, you can instead indicate that you wish to use GMail to handle outgoing e-mail, in which case the above
23
+ settings are automatically configured to values appropriate for GMail, though you'll need to specify your GMail
24
+ e-mail (included the "@gmail.com") and password.
25
+
26
+ Regardless of whether SMTP is enabled or configured, the plugin provides you the ability to define the name and
27
+ email of the 'From:' field for all outgoing e-mails.
28
+
29
+ A simple test button is also available that allows you to send a test e-mail to yourself to check if sending
30
+ e-mail has been properly configured for your blog.
31
+
32
+ Compatible with WordPress 2.2+, 2.3+, 2.5+, 2.6+, 2.7+.
33
+
34
+ =>> Read the accompanying readme.txt file for more information. Also, visit the plugin's homepage
35
+ =>> for more information and the latest updates
36
+
37
+ Installation:
38
+
39
+ 1. Download the file http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp.zip and unzip it into your
40
+ /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
41
+ 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' admin menu in WordPress.
42
+ 3. Click the plugin's 'Settings' link next to its 'Deactivate' link (still on the Plugins page), or click on the
43
+ Settings -> SMTP link, to go to the plugin's admin settings page. Optionally customize the settings (to configure it
44
+ if the defaults aren't valid for your situation).
45
+ 4. (optional) Use the built-in test to see if your blog can properly send out e-mails.

12
+ == Description ==
13
+
14
+ Configure SMTP mailing in WordPress, including support for sending e-mail via SSL/TLS (such as GMail).
15
+
16
+ This plugin is the renamed, rewritten, and updated version of the wpPHPMailer plugin.
17
+
18
+ Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle *outgoing* e-mails. It offers you the ability to specify:
19
+
20
+ * SMTP host name
21
+ * SMTP port number
22
+ * If SMTPAuth (authentication) should be used.
23
+ * SMTP username
24
+ * SMTP password
25
+ * If the SMTP connection needs to occur over ssl or tls
26
+
27
+ In addition, you can instead indicate that you wish to use GMail to handle outgoing e-mail, in which case the above settings are automatically configured to values appropriate for GMail, though you'll need to specify your GMail e-mail (including the "@gmail.com") and password.
28
+
29
+ Regardless of whether SMTP is enabled, the plugin provides you the ability to define the name and email of the 'From:' field for all outgoing e-mails.
30
+
31
+ A simple test button is also available that allows you to send a test e-mail to yourself to check if sending e-mail has been properly configured for your blog.
32
+
33
+ == Installation ==
34
+
35
+ 1. Unzip `configure-smtp.zip` inside the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
36
+ 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' admin menu in WordPress
37
+ 1. Click the plugin's `Settings` link next to its `Deactivate` link (still on the Plugins page), or click on the `Settings` -> `SMTP` link, to go to the plugin's admin settings page. Optionally customize the settings (to configure it if the defaults aren't valid for your situation).
38
+ 1. (optional) Use the built-in test to see if your blog can properly send out e-mails.
39
+
40
+ == Frequently Asked Questions =
41
+
42
+ = I am already able to receive e-mail sent by my blog, so would I have any use or need for this plugin? =
43
+
44
+ Most likely, no. Not unless you have a preference for having your mail sent out via a different SMTP server, such as GMail.
45
+
46
+ = How do I find out my SMTP host, and/or if I need to use SMTPAuth and what my username and password for that are? =
47
+
48
+ Check out the settings for your local e-mail program. More than likely that is configured to use an outgoing SMTP server. Otherwise, contact your host or someone more intimately knowledgeable about your situation.
49
+
50
+ = I've sent out a few test e-mails using the test button after having tried different values for some of the settings; how do I know which one worked? =
51
+
52
+ If your settings worked, you should receive the test e-mail at e-mail address associated with your WordPress blog user account. That e-mail contains a time-stamp which was reported to you by the plugin when the e-mail was sent. If you are trying out various setting values, be sure to record what your settings were and what the time-stamp was when sending with those settings.
53
+
54
+ == Screenshots ==
55
+
56
+ 1. A screenshot of the plugin's admin settings page.
