  • The best SMTP i've tried

    This is the ultimate SMTP plugin. It even has email logs, which is a must-have. It's incredibly easy to use, and the developers are available right away! It's truly excellent.

  • Very Good Plugin and Great Support

    I am very much impressed by their support team. Even though I am not a paid customer yet, they support me to configure the plugin by remote desktop, once I was facing some issues to configure it properly.

  • Super easy to set up

    Super easy to set up. Their customer support is great, and the free email logs (a feature that usually costs extra in other plugins) are a huge bonus.
