• Before WP Mail Logging, I had no idea if emails were being sent. Now I have a log of when and what and I refer to the log often to verify the working of my WP site. The only thing I would add, if possible, is more info on the server response from the recipient. Some recipients claim they didn’t get the email even though the log says it was sent.

    Hi @russell-wintner

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re happy to hear that you were able to successfully log your emails.

    In regards to the issue you mentioned, this could be for a number of reasons, the short reason is that your emails may have been delivered to your recipient’s spam folder.

    Please note that WP Mail Logging doesn’t affect the delivery of your emails. That is potentially why no errors were appearing when checking your logs. If there was a specific issue preventing your emails from being sent in the first place, then an error would have likely appeared.

    Please ensure you are using an SMTP plugin like?WP Mail SMTP?or?Easy WP SMTP?for example.

    Those plugins help your site send emails more reliably.

    For example, when using WP Mail SMTP, you can choose to have your emails authenticated and sent reliably to your recipients using one of the popular email delivery integrations like Amazon SES, Outlook, Zoho, Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, SMTP.com, or SendLayer. Alternatively, you can use WP Mail SMTP to send emails through your preferred email provider’s SMTP mail configurations.

    In simple terms, it will be very similar to logging in to your email account and sending an email. In this way, you will have a much better chance of delivering your emails to the recipients without the email getting flagged as spam.

    In more technical terms, all of your website’s emails sent with the WordPress default wp_mail() function will be routed through your WP Mail SMTP configured mailer.

    Lastly, WP Mail SMTP can provide more specific error messages based on which point your emails are failing to be delivered.

    Again, thank you for leaving a review and if you ever have any questions in regards to WP Mail Logging, feel free to reach out to us in our support forum.
