Send emails via SMTP instead of php mail()

    Hi,
    First of all, thanks for this excellent plugin. I like that it sends an email everytime someone gets blocked but it appears to be sending it via php’s mail() function.
    Is there a way to opt for sending emails via an SMTP server instead?

    The server where my WordPress site is hosted is not the same as my mail server and since I’d like to enforce a strict DMARC policy and would rather not have to list IPs that do not belong to mail servers, the emails that Sunny sends me are tagged as Fail on DMARC checks.

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Pierre

    Sunny 2.0.0 doesn’t send email anymore. A custom PSR3 logger is planned (if you know what it means….)

    As for your set up, I believe a WordPress forgot password email would fail on DMARC checks neither.

    Solutions (but none of them is related to Sunny):

    1. Config WordPress to send emails via a third-party provider (e.g.: sendgrid, mandrill)
    2. Just disable WordPress emails (risky of course, don’t do this if it’s anything other than a personal blog)

    Note that security functionalities have been separated to https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-cloudflare-guard

    Besides, I am looking for developer job (both part-time and full-time). If you know someone needs a hand, please let me know
