    Recently Updated

    • Netcore Email API (formerly Pepipost) as a WordPress SMTP Server

      Netcore Email API (formerly Pepipost) is an enterprise-focused relay. Pricing shifted to Growth and Enterprise tiers on the Customer Engagement Platform, billed by Monthly Tracked Users (Growth from ₹12,000/mo for 5,000 MTUs, channel delivery separate). Free tier allows 100 emails/day. Most WordPress sites should use simpler alternatives.

    • FastComet

      FastComet (WHG-owned since April 2025) tiers mailboxes 5/25/Unlimited/Unlimited and runs outbound through SpamExperts. SMTP open; no published sending limit.

    • Cloudways

      Cloudways provides no bundled email. Port 25 blocked; wp_mail() fails by default. Email requires the Elastic Email addon, Custom SMTP addon, or a WordPress SMTP plugin.

    • SiteGround

      SiteGround bundles full domain email and signs WordPress mail with an auto-published DKIM. Hourly caps: 400 (entry plans), 800 (GoGeek and Cloud).

    • Mail Queue WordPress plugin review

      Mail Queue by WDM queues WordPress email via the pre_wp_mail hook, leaving SMTP plugins untouched. Actively maintained: v1.6.1, tested up to WordPress 7.0.

    • addy.io Email Aliasing Service

      addy.io (formerly AnonAddy) is an independent, open-source email aliasing service. Unlimited standard aliases on custom domains from $3/month on the Pro tier.

      SparkPost operates as Bird’s email product after the 2022 acquisition. Self-service Startup (from $15/mo for 50K) and Growth (from $80/mo for 100K) tiers; dedicated IP is a $24.95/mo add-on on Growth and above. The official WordPress plugin remains closed as of March 2025.

    • SendGrid as a WordPress SMTP server

      SendGrid is a high-volume email platform owned by Twilio. Essentials plan starts at $19.95/month for 50,000 emails. Priced and featured above what most WordPress sites need, but a defensible choice at enterprise scale.

      Postmark review, for WordPress: pricing from $15/mo for 10,000, stream separation, WP Mail SMTP setup. The right transactional default.

    • SPF for WordPress email: what the record does and how it fails

      SPF is the DNS TXT record that lists the servers allowed to send mail from your domain. Receivers check the sending IP against the list, and the record is where WordPress operators tell Gmail and Outlook which relay the site uses.

    • Free SMTP Servers for WordPress

      Thirteen free SMTP options for WordPress, ranked by whether the $0 tier is actually permanent. Permanent free plans, trials, and testing sandboxes – separated.

    • Pressable
