Hi @upflags,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
However, please know that the core functionality of authenticating emails to improve deliverability is included in the Lite version of WP Mail SMTP.
The Lite version also comes with troubleshooting tools, such as test emails, debug events, and scheduled actions.
Even though other benefits are available in the paid version, those features we mentioned are invaluable as they really do come in handy when setting up or troubleshooting a mailer.
Is there a particular feature you wanted access to that wasn’t included in the Lite version? Also, did you run into any issues during the setup process?
If yes, we’d be more than happy to assist or provide some suggestions.
For example, if you were looking for email logging, you could use the companion plugin WP Mail Logging to log your emails.
