Buddypress?

    Hi David,

    Generally, if a plugin is not using the built-in WordPress wp_mail() function to send email, they are using the PHP mail() function.

    To check a plugin, I would download it and search all the files in the plugin for the string ‘mail(‘ and see if there are any instances of mail() instead of wp_mail().

    I would be surprised if BuddyPress used anything other than wp_mail() when generating emails but I have not personally checked the code for this.

    Hi David,

    In another support thread, it was noted specifically that BuddyPress @mention emails were not being stopped. (see Mentions Getting Sent).

    BuddyPress does use its own BP_PHPMailer class but includes a filter to use the default wp_mail() function.

    I’ve just pushed Stop Emails 1.2.0, which now includes this filter and stops BuddyPress emails.

    Hi David,

    I hope this answered your question. Now that I know how BuddyPress sends email and have updated Stop Emails to accommodate it, I’m going to mark this topic resolved.

    If you have further questions or follow up notes, feel free to re-open this topic or post a new one.

    Have a great day.
