Send WordPress email through SMTP.com
SMTP.com is one of the oldest dedicated email delivery services, with a focus on deliverability support for businesses that send transactional mail at scale.
- SMTP, through Custom SMTP
How BooleanSMTP sends through SMTP.com
Through the Custom SMTP connection
In BooleanSMTP, add a mailer, choose Custom SMTP, and enter SMTP.com’s SMTP server below with your SMTP.com SMTP login. Logging, the fallback, retries and alerts work exactly as they do for every other connection.
| SMTP host | Port | Encryption |
|---|---|---|
| Your account’s server (below) | 2525 | TLS |
| Your account’s server (below) | 2082 | TLS |
| Your account’s server (below) | 465 | SSL |
- Username
- The login of a sender (Manage Senders, in your SMTP.com account)
- Password
- That sender’s password, not your API key
SMTP.com gives each account its own server name: it is in your account activation email.
Checked against SMTP.com’s SMTP documentation.
Before you connect
Create a sender (channel) in SMTP.com for your domain, and have the SMTP credentials for it ready.
Setup guide: Custom SMTP connectionsPair it with a fallback
A second provider as the fallback covers a changed sender password or a paused sender.
When SMTP.com 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 SMTP.com receives
Only what sending needs: each message (recipients, subject, body, headers, attachments) and the credentials you enter for the connection, sent to SMTP.com when WordPress sends an email. BooleanSMTP stores those credentials encrypted in your own database. Read SMTP.com’s terms and privacy policy.
