The main point of using the additional services we recommend is to determine whether the email that was not received ever left the server. Do you have some form of email logging in place? | |
Not easy for me to check, but I’m having somebody check to see if there are any problems with emails leaving the server. Do you know typically where to look? Its a real pain, that everything was working fine, then all notifications stop. | |
Hi there, There is a plugin that you can install on your WP installation that will log the email attempts: | |
Hi Josh, When I check gmail is suggests using port 465 and TLS, the wp smtp suggests port 587. | |
The author of the WP SMTP plugin posted recommendations on how to set up mail to go through a gmail account here: | |
Hi Josh, Was able to get the SMTP pluging working with gmail, so its working, but not as well as it was before. There still appears to be a problem with php sendmail. | |
It’s typically difficult to pin down problems with email because there are so many layers to it. EE hands the email sending off to WP. WP by default then hands it off to php, which then hands it off to whatever mail handler is set up on the server (sendmail, for example), which then sends it to the server specified in the dns record, and down the chain it goes. The only part that EE has any control over is that first link in the chain, which is why we recommend some kind of email logging, using Mandrill, etc. | |
Yep, seems to be a complicated problem. I’m using gmail at the moment with smtp plugin, not perfect but seems to be working. I’ll take a look at Mandrill and see how easy it is to setup. Thanks | |
Mailchimp has a how to guide they recently published here: http://blog.mailchimp.com/transactional-email-plugin-for-WordPress/ | |
