If you’ve been waiting for even more options to send WordPress emails reliably, we’ve got some exciting news for you. With the release of Post SMTP v3.5.0, we’re welcoming a brand-new email service provider, Emailit, to our growing list of supported mailers.
But that’s not all—this update also brings PHP 8+ compatibility, UI enhancements, and a round of important bug fixes that make Post SMTP more stable and dependable than ever.
Let’s dive into what’s new in this release.
Meet Emailit: The Newest Post SMTP Mailer
Post SMTP already supports 15+ popular SMTP mailers, and with v3.5.0, we’re thrilled to add Emailit to the mix.
Why Emailit SMTP?
Emailit is a modern email delivery platform built to make transactional email reliable and hassle-free. Whether it’s password resets, order notifications, form alerts, or client messages—Emailit is designed to send your messages fast (≈ 6 seconds to inbox on average).
- Simple Setup: Use either SMTP credentials or their API—both are supported out of the box.
- Scalable Sending: For high-volume sites, Emailit supports dedicated IPs ($300/year) to help you preserve sending reputation.
- Reliable Delivery: All sending domains must be verified with SPF and DKIM, and invalid addresses are suppressed automatically.
- Cost-effective Pricing: Emailit starts as low as $1 per 10,000 emails, making it attractive for sites that don’t need a high-volume plan.
And with Post SMTP, integrating Emailit means you get all of these perks inside your WordPress dashboard—no messy setup, minimal friction, and more control over your email pipeline.

Getting started with Emailit inside Post SMTP is quick and simple:

- In WordPress, go to Post SMTP → Dashboard → Setup Wizard and select Emailit as your mailer.
