Configuring Additional Connections

The Additional Connections feature in Post SMTP allows you to configure and manage multiple mailer connections from a single WordPress website. This makes it easier to organize different SMTP providers, manage separate email sending configurations, and switch between connections whenever needed.

Before getting started, you’ll need to ensure Post SMTP is installed and activated on your WordPress site.

Configure Your First Mailer Connection

Before adding multiple connections, you’ll first need to configure your primary mailer.

You can configure your first mailer in either of the following ways:

• Using the Setup Wizard from the dashboard
• Directly from the Settings → Connections tab

To get started:

1. Open the Post SMTP dashboard
2. Click the Setup Wizard button on dashboard or navigate to Post SMTP → Settings → Connections

3. Select your preferred SMTP provider

4. Configure your mailer credentials

5. Save the connection settings

Once configured successfully, your primary mailer will appear inside the Settings → Connections tab.

How to add additional connection

After configuring your primary mailer, you can add more SMTP connections.

To add an additional connection:

• Navigate to Post SMTP → Settings → Connections
• Locate the available connection actions
• Click Add More Connection

• Configure the new SMTP provider using the setup process
• Save the connection settings

You can repeat this process to configure multiple mailer connections based on your requirements.

Managing Your Connections

Once additional connections are added, you can manage them directly from the Connections settings page.

Available management options include:

• Edit connection settings and SMTP credentials
• Rename connection titles for better organization
• Delete unused connections

For example, you can organize your connections as:

• Primary SMTP
• Backup Mailer
• Transactional Emails
• Marketing Emails

This helps manage multiple mailers more efficiently.

Setting a Primary Connection

Post SMTP allows you to choose which mailer should be used as the default connection for sending emails.

To set a primary connection:

• Navigate to the Connections settings page
• Locate the Primary Connection

dropdown option

• Select your preferred mailer connection
• Save the settings

The selected connection will now become the default mailer used for outgoing emails.\

Testing Your Email Configuration

While configuring your mailer through the Setup Wizard, Post SMTP allows you to send a test email during the final setup step to verify your email configuration and ensure emails are sending successfully.
