Reviews
You're a genius! This is the best plugin that does the job. Easy setup, nothing extra. The entire plugin in 4 files - it's brilliant! Compared to 'WP Mail SMTP' - 860 files!!! Which I deleted after I started getting errors on my website from a plugin that I didn't install (!) - 'Action Scheduler' which is a part of the 'WP Mail SMTP' plugin. They installed a crown record, 4 tables in the database, and my entire log was filled with fatal errors, some class checks for WooCommerce (which I don't even have installed). I write all this in order to show by a comparative example that 'SMTP Mailer' is a brilliant plugin. 'SMTP Mailer' does the job, doesn't spoil my mood and doesn't waste my time.
