Hidden Gem Within the WordPress Ecosystem
I’m endorsing the comment made two comments below mine:"Frankly, I’m surprised that this plugin isn’t installed on 100k+ WordPress sites. Not only does it do a great job, I’m truly impressed by the rich set of features it offers. Thanks, Milan!" This plugin is amazing. I’m stunned that it doesn’t already have at least 100,000 active installations. A hidden gem within the WordPress ecosystem.

Made me forget every other mail plugin
If you don't use other 3rd party services for sending mails, for phpmailer, this is the best plugin you can find for free in the wordpress repository. Literally the best that it made me forget FluentSMTP. Hoping someday I would upgrade to pro version of the plugin whenever required.

Every site that sends emails should use this
I looked high and low for a plugin like this and couldn't find anything that throttles emails according to what my server could do. GD Mail Queue was the only plugin that helped me successfully send the volume of emails that my business requires. Frankly, I'm surprised that this plugin isn't installed on 100k+ WordPress sites. Not only does it do a great job, I'm truly impress at the rich set of features it has. Thanks Milan!

Deserves 5 stars, it works really well
Unique plugin that addresses certain caveats and problems. Queuing is fantastic, I just bought the pro plugin. Something you can't do with wpsmtp plugin.
