Plugin Description
Postman is an intelligent, next-generation SMTP mailer that brings reliable email delivery to WordPress. Postman is unique because it supports both traditional username/password authentication, and OAuth 2.0 – Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and Gmail’s preferred mechanism for authentication.
In 2014, Google announced if your site “currently uses plain passwords to authenticate to Google, we strongly encourage you to minimize user disruption by switching to OAuth 2.0.” For Google Apps users, OAuth 2.0 is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Stop fighting SMTP authentication and connection failures ✝, lost emails, emails landing as Spam ✝✝, and password secrecy concerns. Email is reliably delivered every time because Postman is pre-approved to send SMTP messages on your behalf, without rejection, and without the work-arounds.
Read the reviews to see what Postman has accomplished since January of this year.
