List of users after import and **loginurl**

I am going to ask my question in a different way and hope for a reply.
I would like to send emails to new users after import using WordPress own email message (which I have customized myself). How can I bypass your email message which you have in the settings?
Thank you.

Mica,

Sorry but I didn’t see your message.

You cannot bypass my message :(, we would need to do an update for you.

If you need it, write me to carazo AT gmail DOT com and we talk about it.

I noticed that you have separate settings for From and Name email address.
I could use that but from WordPress itself. I don’t really understand the need for SMTP. Also, what would **loginurl** result in? WordPress sends a link for setting the password. Does your plugin do that as well?

Mica,

If you want to send mails through PHP mail instead of SMTP tell me and I prepare a quote for this.

loginurl results in your wp_login_url().

No, this plugin send the password in the mail.

It seems that there is a misunderstanding. I am just trying to understand why there is a any need for using SMTP or PHP. As far as I know WordPress uses PHP. Does this mean that your plugin is using something else for sending email?

mica123,

You are not understanding it.

You can use mail using a external SMTP server (as in this case) or using something else like the terminal “mail” command or the PHP “mail” function.

If you want this plugin use the standard mail function and not the one who use a SMTP server call (like a SMTP client) tell me.

l am just trying to understand why there is a any need for using SMTP or PHP

SMTP and PHP are completely different technologies. SMTP is an standard Internet protocol for delivering email messages.

As far as I know WordPress uses PHP

PHP is a programming language. WordPress is built with PHP. To send mail, WordPress uses an SMTP mailer built with PHP known as PHPMailer. By default, WordPress configures PHPMailer to send your mail via SMTP to localhost on port 25.

WordPress provides a function known as wp_mail for other plugins to send email via WordPress. SMTP plugins, like the excellent Postman SMTP, provide a way of changing the behavior of wp_mail system-wide.

PHP mail() is a different beast altogether, and doesn’t really have any place inside WordPress, though many plugin authors choose to use it, mostly out of habit or ignorance.

Jason,

This is correct. Sorry for my English, this is not so bad, but also, this is not so good.

In this plugin, when I do this new functionality, the person who paid for it and support this develop want to send mails using his SMTP server.

I did this form in order to save the SMTP preferences and then I use PHPMailer throw wp_mail and his filters to do the massive send.

If you want to use the WordPress standard mail (that can be changed some of the plugins mentioned by Jason) you can tell us and you can support this develop.

It should be cheap, this is not much work, but as almost every new functionality in this plugin: we makes it free for you but someone have to pay the time I use of my bussiness in this project.

I have to justify this time.

Tell me. And Jason, thanks for the explanation.

Thank you, Jason, this is now much clearer to me. I am perfectly happy with the WordPress’ own email method.

Mica,

Do you want anything? If not, please mark thread as solved.

Thanks.
