If so, you&#8217;ve come to the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a default, WordPress uses the PHP mail function for all types of transactional emails (i.e., order confirmation, password reset, etc.), which causes some issues with sending or receiving emails. But, using an SMTP server can ensure the deliverability of your WordPress emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will show you how to configure a free SMTP server to send WordPress emails without hassle. Ready? Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Should You Use an SMTP Server for WordPress Emails?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, which is the industry standard for sending and receiving emails. It allows you to send emails from your website through a dedicated email (SMTP) server. In turn, this improves the reliability of your email delivery and decreases the chances of emails ending up in spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the default WordPress mail function (wp_mail), which uses the PHP mail function, SMTP allows you to authenticate your emails with a third-party service provider. This has several benefits for your WordPress site, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better Deliverability and Security<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use an SMTP server to ensure your emails are delivered to the intended recipients and not marked as spam or bounced back. This is because SMTP servers use encryption and authentication methods to verify the sender and recipient of the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, with TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security), an SMTP server protects your emails from hackers, spoofers, and spammers who might try to intercept or impersonate your email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid WordPress Email Issues<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many WordPress hosting providers impose strict limits on the number of emails you can send from your site, or they may block the PHP mail function altogether. Generally, this can cause problems with your WordPress email notifications, such as password resets, comment replies, contact form submissions, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, by setting up an SMTP server, you can bypass these restrictions so your WordPress emails deliver properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Different SMTP Options Available<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many SMTP service providers offer free or paid plans for sending WordPress emails. Some of the popular ones are Gmail, Outlook, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Mailgun, and Amazon SES.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your needs and preferences, you can choose the one that suits you best. You can also use multiple SMTP servers simultaneously so that if one server fails, another will send your emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy SMTP Plugin Setup<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up an SMTP server for WordPress is not difficult at all. You just need to install a plugin that allows you to configure the SMTP settings in your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many plugins available for this purpose. Still, we recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Post SMTP<\/a>, which is a free and reliable plugin that supports many SMTP services, including Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Gmail, Mailgun, <a href=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/extensions\/office-365-extension-for-post-smtp\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/extensions\/office-365-extension-for-post-smtp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office365<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/extensions\/post-smtp-extension-for-amazon-ses\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/postmansmtp.com\/extensions\/post-smtp-extension-for-amazon-ses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon SES<\/a>, SendGrid, PostMark, SparkPost, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, Post SMTP offers unique features, like email delivery notifications via Slack, Twilio(SMS), Chomre Extension, robust email logging, and much more that make your email management easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set Up Brevo (Sendinblue) SMTP Server for WordPress Emails [In 3 Easy Steps]<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there are many free SMTP services, we have chosen Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) mainly because it provides reliable SMTP server service and offers a free SMTP server plan with a limit of 300 emails per day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, to configure the Brevo (Sendinblue) SMTP server to send WordPress emails, follow the below steps carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #1: <\/strong><strong>Install and Configure Post SMTP Plugin for WordPress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to install and activate the <strong>Post SMTP plugin<\/strong> for your WordPress site, which lets you connect the free Brevo SMTP server to your WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can do this by going to <strong>Plugins<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>Add New<\/strong> in your <strong>WordPress dashboard<\/strong> and searching for <strong>Post SMTP<\/strong>.
