SMTP Settings for Gravity Forms

Description

This plugin adds a new settings page for each form created, to allow configuration for sending emails through an SMTP mail server. It gives you a way to have different SMTP server settings for each form you create.

If you do not need it, you can simply leave the settings blank, and it will revert to the site’s default mail sender.

Configure

1. Browse to the Gravity Form Admin, and click on Settings for the form.
2. Click SMTP Settings
3. Fill in the details to override the built-in WordPress Mail sender for the form
   .1 SMTP password will be be encrypted prior to sending to the WordPress Database. Please note that is uses the WordPress Built-In salts from wp-config. If these change in anyway, you wll need to enter the SMTP password again.

Installation

1. Download the plugin, unzip it, and upload to your sites /wp-content/plugins/ directory
   1. You can also upload it directly to your Plugins admin
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ

Do I need this plugin if I already use a SMTP plugin?

Not necessarily. This plugin is not meant to replace your sitewide SMTP mail sender, but rather gives you a way to utilize separate SMTP settings for each Gravity Form in your site.

Outlook 365 SMTP Settings are not working… HELP?!

Outlook 365 requires the From email address to be the exact same as the account used to authenticate. Make sure you update your settings.

Does this override the entire site’s mail sending?

No. Instead it overrides it for the form you have the settings configured for only.

needs authentication on/off feature

My server uses no auth, and there is no option for this here

Works a treat

Was easy to install and test. The only drawback is that it needs to be set on each form (as opposed to a global setting).
