Error with php 8.3
Cannot use the plugin with php 8.3, shows critical error. Use another plugin. Update: yes it was my issue, allow_url_fopen was disabled in php version on the server for some reason.

Can SMTP Be Easy? YES!
SMTP has been the bane of my marketing existence forever. I've never had such a smooth onboarding. I decided to try it out on my client's site (loveyourchainlink.com) just to see -- since default WordPress emails are tragically and historically a problem. I'm pretty sure it just took 2 minutes. I'm going to put this on my own site and another client site, too. Wow! Thank you!

Game-changer!
It works like a charm, is so easy to set up compared to the old authentication method, and is lightweight. I highly recommend this gem, and I'm very happy that I found it. I will get a plan when I reach my usage. Please keep the free plan. Big thanks!

Email sending evolved
It's the official plugin of the best email sending service out there. The setup is ultra simplified. Forget about messing with DNS, SMTP server, ports. Once you've done with your account on their site, it just works fast and reliable out-of-the-box. A step ahead.
