## Description

**ReadyGo SMTP** fixes WordPress email delivery by routing your mail through a real
mail provider instead of the unreliable default PHP `mail()` function. It then goes
further than most SMTP plugins with **weighted load-balancing** and **automatic 
failover**, so a single provider outage never stops your email.

Connect one or more providers, decide how mail is routed between them, and watch
every send in a clean dashboard with full logs and charts.

Free, self-hosted, and no paid upgrade.

#### Why WordPress emails are not sending or going to spam

By default WordPress hands your email to the PHP `mail()` function on your web server.
That server usually has no proper sending reputation, no SPF or DKIM alignment for
your domain, and no way to report a failure back to you. The result is the two problems
every site owner eventually hits: password resets and order confirmations that never
arrive, and messages that do arrive but land in the spam folder.

Routing through a genuine SMTP or API provider fixes both. The provider has the 
reputation and the authentication, and it tells you what happened to every message.

#### WordPress SMTP settings, without the guesswork

Add a connection, enter your host, port, encryption, username and password, send
a test email, and you are done. The plugin shows you the real result of that test,
including the exact provider error if it fails, so you are not guessing which of
the five settings is wrong.

#### Works with Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365

Use the **Other SMTP** connection type with your provider’s standard SMTP server.
For Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook and Microsoft 365 accounts with two-factor 
authentication switched on, generate an **app-specific password** in your account
security settings and use that as the SMTP password rather than your normal login
password. The built-in documentation tab walks through it.

#### Key features

 * **Multiple providers.** Any standard SMTP server, plus native API integrations
   for Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), SparkPost,
   SMTP2GO, Elastic Email and Netcore, and PHP `mail()` as a last resort.
 * **Weighted load-balancing.** Split sending across connections by weight, for 
   example 70/30, to spread volume or stay inside a free tier.
 * **Automatic failover.** If one connection fails, the next is tried instantly.
   A failing connection is briefly cooled down, then retried.
 * **Email logging.** Every message recorded with status, recipient, subject and
   the full failover trail. Resend any message with one click.
 * **Dashboard and reports.** Sending volume over time, success rate, and a send-
   time heatmap.
 * **Forced From identity.** Set and enforce the From name, From address and Return-
   Path for better deliverability and fewer spoofing flags.
 * **Test email tool.** Send a real test in HTML or plain text through your live
   routing, not a simulation.
 * **Log retention.** Auto-purge old logs on a schedule you choose so the table 
   never grows without limit.

#### Who needs an SMTP plugin

Anyone running WooCommerce order emails, a contact form, a membership or LMS site,
or simply relying on password resets working. If email leaving your site matters
at all, `mail()` is not a safe default. If email leaving your site matters a great
deal, one provider is not either, which is what the load-balancing and failover 
are for.

#### More from ReadyGo Tools

Built by [ReadyGo Tools](https://readygotools.com/). See the [plugin page](https://readygotools.com/plugins/readygotools-smtp/),

### External services

ReadyGo SMTP does not contact any external service on its own. It only sends your
outgoing WordPress email through the third-party mail provider(s) **you choose and
configure** with your own credentials. Nothing is sent anywhere until you add and
enable a connection, and no usage data, analytics, or telemetry is ever collected
by the plugin.

When you enable a provider, your outgoing message data — the recipient address(es),
subject, body, and headers — is transmitted to that provider each time WordPress
sends an email (for example a contact-form notification, a password reset, or a 
WooCommerce order email), so the provider can deliver it on your behalf. Data is
only sent to the specific provider(s) you connect; deactivating a connection stops
any further data being sent to it.

Each provider is an independent company operating under its own terms of service
and privacy policy. Review the one(s) you enable:

Standard SMTP connections (the « Other SMTP » option) send your mail to whatever
SMTP host you configure; no third-party service is involved beyond the server you
specify.

## Installation

 1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins > Add New** and search for « ReadyGo SMTP»,
    or upload the plugin ZIP via **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
 2. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
 3. Deactivate any other SMTP/mail plugin (only one should be active).
 4. Open **RGT SMTP** in the admin menu, then **Settings > Add Another Connection**
    and choose your provider.
 5. Enter your sender details and credentials. For SMTP, match encryption to the port(
    465 = SSL, 587 = TLS).
 6. Pick a Routing Mode and Default Connection, then send a test email from the **Email
    Test** tab.

## FAQ

### I get « Could not connect to SMTP host »

This is almost always a port/encryption mismatch. Use SSL on port 465, or TLS on
port 25/587. Edit the connection and make the encryption match the port.

### Can I use it with Fluent Forms, WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, etc.?

Yes. The plugin intercepts WordPress’s standard `wp_mail()`, so any plugin that 
sends email through WordPress is automatically routed — as long as that plugin has
its email notifications enabled.

### Should I run another SMTP plugin at the same time?

No. Run only one mail plugin; multiple plugins will conflict over WordPress mail.

### The email shows « sent » but didn’t arrive

A « sent » status means your provider accepted the message. Delivery to the inbox
then depends on your domain’s SPF and DKIM records and the recipient’s spam filtering.
Check the recipient’s spam folder and verify your DNS authentication.

### Does it store my email content?

Only if logging is enabled. Logged messages may include the email body. You can 
disable logging, or set logs to auto-delete after a chosen number of days. All logs
are stored in your own site’s database; nothing is sent to ReadyGo Tools.

### Why are my WordPress emails not sending?

Almost always because WordPress is using the server’s PHP mail() function, which
has no sending reputation and no authentication for your domain. Routing through
a real SMTP or API provider fixes it, and the plugin’s log tells you exactly what
happened to each message.

### Why do my WordPress emails go to spam?

Mail sent through PHP mail() usually fails SPF and DKIM alignment for your domain,
which is a strong spam signal. Sending through a provider you have authenticated,
with a forced From identity, resolves most cases.

### Can I use this with Gmail or Google Workspace?

Yes, through the Other SMTP connection using Google’s SMTP server. If two-factor
authentication is enabled on the account, generate an app-specific password and 
use that instead of your normal password.

### Can I use this with Outlook or Microsoft 365?

Yes, through the Other SMTP connection using Microsoft’s SMTP server, with an app-
specific password if two-factor authentication is enabled on the account.

### What are the correct WordPress SMTP settings?

They come from your mail provider, not from WordPress. You need the SMTP host, the
port, the encryption type, your username (usually the full email address) and the
password. Enter them, send a test, and the plugin reports the exact provider response.

### What is the difference between load-balancing and failover?

Load-balancing splits your mail across several connections by weight while all of
them are healthy. Failover is what happens when one stops working: the next connection
takes over immediately and the failing one is cooled down before being retried.

### Does it work with WooCommerce order emails and contact forms?

Yes. The plugin intercepts all WordPress mail, so anything that sends email through
WordPress is routed and logged, including WooCommerce, contact form plugins and 
password resets.

### Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature including logging, load-balancing and failover is free. You still
pay your chosen mail provider directly under their own pricing, and many have a 
free tier.
