Send WordPress email through SMTP2GO
SMTP2GO is a sending service with servers in several regions and a generous free plan, which makes it an easy upgrade from your host’s own mail for small and medium sites.
- SMTP, through Custom SMTP
How BooleanSMTP sends through SMTP2GO
Through the Custom SMTP connection
In BooleanSMTP, add a mailer, choose Custom SMTP, and enter SMTP2GO’s SMTP server below with your SMTP2GO SMTP login. Logging, the fallback, retries and alerts work exactly as they do for every other connection.

|---|---|---|
| mail.smtp2go.com | 587 | TLS |

| mail.smtp2go.com | 8025 | TLS |
| mail.smtp2go.com | 80 | TLS |
| mail.smtp2go.com | 465 | SSL |
| mail.smtp2go.com | 8465 | SSL |
| mail.smtp2go.com | 443 | SSL |
- Username
- The username of an SMTP user you create (Sending → SMTP Users)
- Password
- That SMTP user’s password
SMTP2GO also answers on ports 80 and 443, for hosts that block every mail port.

Before you connect

Setup guide: Custom SMTP connectionsPair it with a fallback
Pair it with a second provider, or your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox, as the fallback.
When SMTP2GO 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 SMTP2GO receives
Only what sending needs: each message (recipients, subject, body, headers, attachments) and the credentials you enter for the connection, sent to SMTP2GO when WordPress sends an email. BooleanSMTP stores those credentials encrypted in your own database. Read SMTP2GO’s terms and privacy policy.
