what WP SMTP plugin should i use? what has worked for you?

ok, sounds great. how can i solve this issue using an SMTP plugin? What are the steps I have to take to get this problem fixed?

what worked for you?

what do you think might be wrong with my current SMTP setup? i can send emails to my email accounts perfectly fine if i do it directly. the problem is getting these email notifications sent out through my WordPress site.

or horrifying one, depending on your taste

of this bad movie

my clients are in ‘desperado’ mode, begging me to get this site up online for the weekend. now i’m going to have to break the news, and tell them that they might need to hold on for another 48 hours.

this is an ‘edge of your seat’ thriller and godaddy’s the director

after calling godaddy up for the upteenth time, they finally told me that I had a problem with my MX records. my hosting account was european but for some reason my MX records were american!

now i’ll have to wait (possibly 48 hours!) and see whether this change will make any difference.

LORD HAVE MERCY.

well i better get rid of it then and focus on one problem rather than two. that will be a start, as it’s not working anyway. one down, one to go.

…or gravity forms if i’m lucky

deep down i feel like bursting into a psychotic rage. my laptop is about to experience the full force of gravity.

Sent my message over to the Jetpack forum. Hopefully some sort of Stephen Hawking type computer wizard will get this problem solved. How this isn’t working is mathematically beyond my comprehension.

don’t hurt me more than i am already hurt… lol

If something’s not right with the world, let’s blame GoDaddy…

Sometimes, don’t you feel like slapping GoDaddy?

yeah… turns out it’s their welcome plugin. it’s not required.

got rid of it, now everything is working properly.

hooray. problem solved.

thanks for the advice by the way WPyogi. Have a nice day.
