Secure Mail Delivery

Sending via SMTP resolves delivery issues with WordPress emails.

Messages are securely authenticated, reliably delivered, and do not end up in spam folders. The built-in email log allows you to track emails in compliance with the GDPR (DSGVO).

The plugin offers SMTP sending and email logging without relying on third-party providers. You retain full control over your data.

All features are completely free—no Pro version or subscription required.
