  • My favorite SMTP plugin suddenly started worrying us. What was the reason?

    Yes it is. thats why it now has 9 MB and not 300 KB. Integration primary for their own business.

    I don’t blame them for that, it is ok. But more transparency for the User before such a huge change would have been nice.

    I switch to SMTP Mailer (https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/smtp-mailer/) it simply does what it should in 52 KB.

    Thanks. @hpr78 !

    I’ll take a look and do some testing on it. I don’t need these commercially. Basically they just went bloatware and I need something lite the does the just with our current setup, not a new provider.

    Hi everyone,

    thank you for your honest feedback.

    We want to help users resole their WordPress deliverability issues, so that’s why we added additional popular transactional email service providers and added the debug event feature.

    If all you need, is to send emails through your SMTP server, that’s OK, it’s still working just like it did (the “Other SMTP” mailer) and we improved it as well, by always encrypting the SMTP password in the DB and improving the UI.

    All other transactional mailers can just be ignored and will not affect the functionality.

    The plugin size change is not reflecting the functionality or slower performance of the plugin. If you are using the Other SMTP mailer, it will send out emails just as fast as before.

    And the new Debug Events feature might help you out, since it’s logging any failed attempts, this way you’ll know if there are any issues with your SMTP server.

    We just released a new update (version 2.0.1), which includes a new setting in the Easy WP SMTP > Settings > Misc (tab), called Compact Mode. It will remove the top level WP Admin menu entry for Easy WP SMTP and move it back to the WP Admin Settings submenu (where it was before the update). If that is something that was bothering you ??

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Thank you for the answer @capuderg.

    I just don’t want a plugin that does all these things and is filled up with all this stuff. That’s exactly why we loved this plugin and didn’t use WP Mail SMTP by WPForms, because that does that and it’s annyoing.

    We want a small plugin that only does the required stuff. Creating a compact mode is not enough.

    @thomasduerlund 100% with you.

    Sorry, Easy WP SMTP, but your time to go has come.

    Has the plugin been bought?

    Plugin support members from the Easy WP SMTP plugin are also active in the WPmail SMTP forum..

    I don’t see any issues with that. I’m nor using WPmail SMTP either and are not going to.

    It has to be a light SMTP plugin with the security in order.

    Hi Thomas,

    What I meant to say is that both plugins might have the same owner now.
