Email on Presslabs
Transactional email
WordPress wp_mail() sends through Presslabs’ configured SendGrid/Mailgun relay. Works without additional plugins for basic transactional needs. The relay is included under fair use; it is not separately metered or charged.
What Presslabs does not provide
- Email hosting. No mailboxes, no IMAP/POP3, no forwarding. Domain email requires a separate provider.
- Published sending limits. Fair-use policy without documented caps.
- Email delivery monitoring. No bounce tracking or analytics from the platform.
When to add a third-party relay
For dedicated IP reputation, delivery analytics, or high-volume transactional email. Configure an SMTP plugin with Postmark, SMTP2GO, or Mailgun.
