How BooleanSMTP sends through Elastic Email
Through the Custom SMTP connection
In BooleanSMTP, add a mailer, choose Custom SMTP, and enter Elastic Email’s SMTP server below with your Elastic Email SMTP login. Logging, the fallback, retries and alerts work exactly as they do for every other connection.

|---|---|---|
| smtp.elasticemail.com | 2525 | TLS |
| smtp.elasticemail.com | 587 | TLS |
| smtp.elasticemail.com | 465 | SSL |
- Username
- Your account email, or the one set on the SMTP settings page
- Password

Checked against Elastic Email’s SMTP documentation.
Before you connect
Verify your sending domain in Elastic Email and create SMTP credentials; the SMTP username is the email address of your account.
Setup guide: Custom SMTP connectionsPair it with a fallback
Pair it with a second provider as the fallback so your site keeps sending if the key or account changes.
When Elastic Email refuses a message, BooleanSMTP tries your fallback connection at once, logs which one delivered it, and alerts you on Slack, Discord or Telegram only if every attempt fails. See the whole path
What Elastic Email receives
Only what sending needs: each message (recipients, subject, body, headers, attachments) and the credentials you enter for the connection, sent to Elastic Email when WordPress sends an email. BooleanSMTP stores those credentials encrypted in your own database. Read Elastic Email’s terms and privacy policy.
