Need for SMTP Mail plugin or not?

    My webhost is supporting the PHP mail function.

    In wpforms Notifications settings I have set up “From Email” field like this:
    [email protected]

    So all the contactform mails are sent using an email address with the same domain name as my website domain itself, for example:

    website= mywebsitedomain.com
    From Email field= [email protected]

    With these settings, and with my webhost supporting the PHP mail function, do I still need to use something like the WP Mail SMTP plugin?

    Thank you for your help ??

    Hi Alwin,

    We recommend using a SMTP plugin as email delivery issues can happen due to strict email filters. We have more details on email delivery issues and a list of our recommended SMTP options in this article.

    I hope this helps ??

    Hello,
    Why o why is WordPress not able to make this happen without this SMTP stuff (of which I do not understand anything) installed?
    Why can this not be easy and user friendly?
    The website I am working on has 1 single contact WPForm with Name, Last Name, Email, Message and Submit-button. I already am struggling for an entire week to get the FIRST message in my or the website owner’s email box. And it still does not work.
    Is there any USER FRIENDLY guide that can help to go through the entire process step by step?
    This would make life much easier, thank you.
