Plugin Description
This plugin which was originally created by Anatta (Nick Murray), adds Amazon SES, DKIM and third party SMTP capability to the Wordpress mailing system for outgoing e-mails. It is based on the configure-smtp plugin v3.1 by coffee2code and the Amazon SES class for PHPMailer by Titon Barua.
The plugin provides the ability to configure the following;
Amazon SES:
- Amazon AWS access key and secret key
- Amazon SES Validated ‘From:’ address
- ‘From:’ Sender Name
DKIM:
- DKIM private key
- DKIM private key password
- DKIM domain
- DKIM selector
SMTP (if not using SES):
- SMTP host name
- SMTP port number
- If SMTPAuth (authentication) should be used.
- SMTP username
- SMTP password
- SMTP connection (ssl or tls)
Regardless of whether Amazon SES or SMTP is enabled, the plugin provides you the ability to use the name and e-mail of the ‘From:’ field for all outgoing e-mails and to enable DKIM signing if your web host or server mail service does not provide DKIM.
Two test buttons are also available that allows you to send a test e-mail to yourself and to a DKIM checking service to validate everything has been properly configured.
