Recent Q&A’s
Recently Updated
-
WPForms Lite review
WPForms Lite is a free drag-and-drop form builder for WordPress. No local entry storage, no conditional logic, and most integrations require a paid plan from $49.50/year.
-
Contact Form 7 review
Contact Form 7 uses wp_mail(), so any mailer plugin routes its submissions automatically. Free, no Pro tier, add-ons fill the rest.
-
Disable Emails Review
Pluggable wp_mail() replacement that silences WordPress notifications on staging, dev, and freshly imported sites. Not a permanent outbound off-switch.
-
SMTP Mailing Queue WordPress plugin review
SMTP Mailing Queue replaced pluggable wp_mail and queued mail to JSON files on disk. Closed by author request on 2024-10-09; no longer on wp.org.
-
GD Mail Queue Review
Queue-based wp_mail interceptor by Milan Petrovic. Capable architecture and the deepest logging panel in the category. Eighteen months without a release.
-
Mail Queue WordPress plugin review
Mail Queue by WDM queues WordPress email via the pre_wp_mail hook, leaving SMTP plugins untouched. Actively maintained: v1.6.1, tested up to WordPress 7.0.
-
WP Test Email Review
Free WordPress test-send and 30-day email log utility. Smaller and simpler than Check & Log Email; the minimum-config alternative when richer logs are not needed.
-
Log Emails Review
Free WordPress email logger that hooks phpmailer_init. The right pairing with Disable Emails on staging; second to Check & Log Email on production.
-
Check & Log Email Review
Free WordPress email logger that hooks wp_mail independently of the mailer. The standalone choice when the sending plugin works and logging is missing.
-
MailHawk plugin review
MailHawk is the WordPress plugin for the MailHawk sending service. Single-vendor by design, with in-admin DNS, logs, bounce handling, and account binding.
-
Send Emails with Mandrill: WordPress plugin review
Single-provider WordPress mailer for Mailchimp Transactional. Worth installing only when its three Mandrill-specific hooks earn the install over generic SMTP.
-
MailHawk as a WordPress SMTP Server
MailHawk is a WordPress-native sending service from the Groundhogg team. $1/mo Basic tier for 1,000 emails, no external dashboard, plugin-only interface. Fits Groundhogg-based operations and WordPress operators who want sending managed entirely inside the admin.
