SMTP Mail Control for MailPoet

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!
