SendGrid to sunset Web API access via port 80

    I successfully run WP Mail SMTP with Sendgrid since a couple month. These days Sendgrid contacted me via email to let me know that they are sunsetting API access via port 80. Furthermore they are writing that I used this port up until know and that I should change to HTTPS Port 443 by October 1st.

    As I’m having a standard Sendgrid integration with WP Mail SMT, I’m wondering if this is something that I can solve or it requires the plugin to be updated by you, to avoid interruptions in email delivery.

    Thanks in advance for the support!

  • Hi @teachpress,

    Thanks for reaching out and sharing the information. It looks like you’ll need an HTTPS/SSL connection starting October 1st. There will not be any issues if you’re already running your site on https.

    I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Hi @teachpress,

    we contacted SendGrid support and they said we don’t need to change anything in the plugin regarding the SendGrid mailer integration. We are sending the request to their https endpoint and that should not be affected by this change.

    Do you maybe use the SendGrid API integration in some other product? Maybe they don’t send the requests to the correct endpoint?

    Take care!
