Plugin Can Be Hacked, and then no logging

  • Plugin worked fine, but then noticed I was getting spam blocked by gmail. Turns out the email send was hacked. Was tough to figure out at first since this doesn’t come with email logging.

    Ended up getting Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log plugin instead.

    Works just as good and has email logging.

    Hi @casbboy,

    Thanks for the kind words!

    We’re glad to hear WP Mail SMTP is working out so well for you.

    Also, we appreciate for taking the time to leave this review.

    Have a great day! ??

    Hello @darshanaw,

    If I’m not mistaken, @casbboy was hacked and actually switched away from this plugin and is now using Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log instead.

    And it would appear that I’m having the same problem. I’m using this plugin on a website that maybe sends me a dozen emails a week and to no one else. Yet the Weekly Summary that I get repeatedly reports over 700 emails being sent per week.

    So I think there’s a problem. I don’t know if the plugin has been hacked or not, but I just turned on debugging to see if I can identify what is going on. If I can’t find the problem and am still sending out way more emails that I know I really am, I will be looking at the same alternative: Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log.

    My recommendation is if debugging doesn’t give an admin the visibility they need to troubleshoot this issue, please add it ASAP!
