Why WordPress Community ❤ POST SMTP
Great Plugin. Glad I tried something New!
I have previously used the other top 2 SMTP plugins for mail, but I found support not always there, and making things work can be a pain. These guys have been great. The documentation is excellent, and when I did have a question, they answered IMMEDIATELY with a confirmation that they were on it and my issue was resolved in no time at all, which is great as my clients are typically email dependent businesses (aren’t we all).
Highly recommend this plugin.

Post SMTP is very reliable and easy to use
I manage over 150 websites and I can trust Post SMTP to not only get email from the websites where it needs to go, but also send me notifications when something isn’t working. I use it in conjunction with SMTP2go.com as the server. This is a very reliable combination to deliver consistent quality.
