  • Works as advertised

    We haven't had any issues with the plug-in and it's sending hundreds of emails every week for our woocommerce website for the last year.

  • Great Plugin and it still works in 2023

    I had trouble integrating Mandrill manually, but this plugin was a fantastic find. Despite my initial concerns about its lack of recent updates and a small support team, I'm happy to report that it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this plugin for Mandrill setup—it's easy to use and flawlessly effective.

  • Works like the old mandrill plugin

    And it's still supported by the developers unlike the old one

  • Thanks, can I help ?

    Great that this plugin got a second life! It beats tons of other SMTP plugins trying to support mandrill. It needs a few updates to be fully PHP7.4 compatible and it would be great to have a few extra options (thing return_path_domain etc). On that note: I can help if that would in this great effort!?

  • Thank you for supporting the plugin

    Thank you for taking the initiative to fork the unsupported plugin and get it working with modern PHP.
