SMTP Mail Control for MailPoet

5/5 (3 ratings) 300 active installs Updated Sep 12, 2026

By default, MailPoet sends emails via PHP Mail, its premium MailPoet Sending Service, or services like Amazon SES or SendGrid. But there’s a catch: Some SMTP providers (like Gmail) aren’t supported, and email logging isn’t possible.

➡ This plugin fixes that. It ensures all MailPoet newsletters are sent via your chosen SMTP plugin, so your WordPress email settings apply to newsletters, too – without extra setup or extra costs.

🛠 Works with popular SMTP plugins like:

✅ WP Mail SMTP (by WPForms – the most widely used SMTP plugin)
✅ FluentSMTP (lightweight, free, GDPR-friendly)
✅ Post SMTP (supports OAuth for Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
✅ Easy WP SMTP (simple & reliable)
✅ MailerSend, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), and more

🎯 Why use this plugin?

✔ Ensures MailPoet emails follow your SMTP settings
✔ Works with Gmail & other SMTP providers MailPoet doesn’t support
✔ Enables email logging via your SMTP plugin

⚠ Important notes:

  • Major MailPoet updates may require adjustments.
  • Some advanced MailPoet features (like bounce handling) may behave differently.

✅ Test your setup with MailPoet test emails and real newsletters to ensure everything runs smoothly!
