SMTP – 100% Free & Open Source SMTP plugin for WordPress – Bit SMTP

Easiest SMTP Plugin for WordPress. It’s FREE and easy to setup.

A lot of site owners face the spam mail problem for using the WordPress default PHP mail function(). When it comes to mail service there may be some restrictions: sometimes emails are not delivered, sites cross the limit of outgoing mail.

Bit SMTP plugin allows you to authenticate the mail service of your site by configuring the SMTP server of your desired mail service. SMTP is a protocol that helps your WordPress site to make its email deliverability more easygoing & reliable. By enabling this feature you can send mail from your site to your recipients via your preferred mail server.

How does SMTP work:

At first, you have to open an account on your desired hosting provider (e.g: MailGun, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Zoho mail). By opening an account you are authenticating your WordPress site. They will provide you with the necessary credentials (e.g.: Encryption type, SMTP port ). You have to put this information when configuring SMTP on your site. Once your site is authenticated you can send mail through your preferred SMTP server. All the email validation work will be done on your specified SMTP server.

To access all the mail services you need professional mail addresses. The mail services you can use through this plug-in:

1. MailGun SMTP [5,000 free email /per month for 3 months]

SECURITY:

The Bit SMTP team places a high priority on security. Not only does the plugin adhere to all security best practices, but we offer various options to ensure the safety and protection of your website.

For recommended direct SMTP mailers integrations like SMTP.com, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, and SparkPost, we utilize official provider APIs. This means that you never have to input your username or password in the plugin settings, and these credentials are not stored in the database. Instead, we use tokens or API keys, which provide a much higher level of security.
