SMTP Mail Control for MailPoet
by Saskia Teichmann on WordPress.org
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!
