WordPress not Sending Emails? 2 Easy Ways to Improve Deliverability

If you send from a shared IP address, it could be that your emails are ending up blocked because the IP is blacklisted due to other senders on your server using it for nefarious purposes.

To check, send a test email via Mail-tester and check the results. Mail-tester will provide you with a range of information, including if you are on a blacklist.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry-standard way to send emails that use the proper authentication method to ensure email deliverability. SMTP plugins can help you with resolving WordPress not sending email issues. Free plugins such as Easy WP SMTP can help you configure and send all your outgoing WordPress emails via an SMTP server, not PHP Mail.

So what’s the difference? A few things:

  1. Configurable from name and email address. SMTP allows you to be more recognized by your customers and users, preventing you from ending up in the spam folder. This part solves the issue I mentioned earlier about sending an email from an address that’s different from the server it belongs to.
  2. Route emails via SMTP completely bypassing PHP Mail.
  3. Use any SMTP provider including popular services, such as Mandrill.

In an era where digital communication reigns supreme, our inboxes have become central hubs for information exchange. While Gmail offers a robust platform for managing emails, it's essential to stay vigilant against potential security threats that may lurk within seemingly innocuous messages. "Be Careful with this Message in Gmail" serves as a crucial warning from Gmail, prompting users to exercise caution and take additional steps to ensure the safety of their accounts and sensitive information. In this digital landscape, understanding the implications of this warning becomes paramount, empowering users to make informed decisions about the emails they receive and enhancing the overall security of their online communication.
