This is a quick plugin I whipped up while working on another project. Basically, it takes advantage of the fact that WordPress now (as of 2.2) includes PHPMailer to allow you to make WordPress use SMTP.
Requires WordPress 2.2+. To use, download, change extension to “.php”, upload to plugins folder, activate, and configure.
To do: fix any bugs.
Hi… great plugin. It has worked where others like it (shift this) have not. This may seen like a dumb question…. but is it secure? Is the authentication info stored securely somewhere? Perhaps encrypted? Or in the MySQL datebase? I’m not a developer so sorry if these questions seen strange.
Glad it’s working for you! And to answer your question (which isn’t dumb at all): the information is stored in your MySQL database with all your other WordPress settings, so it’s as secure as your database.
Hi Jason.
Thanks for the plugin.
I use it and it sends email, but only to the admin, not the user (when new user registers).
Any idea?
Thanks!

Yay, it works for me. As long as I can send mail only via smtp, it’s a great plug-in
Thank you!
