This plugin is the official successor to the original SMTP plugin for WordPress (wpPHPMailer).

Use this plugin to customize the SMTP mailing system used by default by WordPress to handle outgoing emails. It offers you the ability to specify SMTP host name, port number, authentication, username, password, and connection type.

You can also choose to use Gmail for outgoing email, which automatically configures the necessary settings. A simple test button allows you to send a test email to verify your configuration.
