Cum să trimiteți e-mailuri din WordPress utilizând SMTP

În mod implicit, WordPress trimite e-mailuri folosind funcția mail() din PHP. Această metodă este suficientă în multe cazuri, dar unii furnizori de servicii de e-mail pot respinge mesajele trimise în acest mod din cauza politicilor din ce în ce mai stricte de combatere a spamului și de autentificare a e-mailurilor.

O soluție mai fiabilă este configurarea WordPress pentru a trimite e-mailuri prin SMTP. Aceasta funcționează similar cu un client de e-mail, unde mesajele sunt trimise printr-o căsuță poștală autentificată folosind un nume de utilizator și o parolă. Ca urmare, livrarea e-mailurilor este, în general, mai fiabilă și mai puțin susceptibilă de a fi marcată ca spam.

In this guide, we’ll use the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
