Some Users Not Receiving Newsletter From Site

  • Hi All, I am currently working on a site at where people can sign up to receive newsletters. One of the admins, who writes the newsletters, told me that she is not receiving her own letter (and yes, she did check her spam box and nothing was there). I, on the other hand, also with an admin account have been receiving her newsletters without any problems and so have my two other test accounts (as subscribers). The plugin we are using is Email Users. Is this a server issue, plugin problem, or is the problem on the receiving end (email provider)?

    Edit: Additional details: Admin writer’s email address is gmail and newsletters sent from the site has her gmail in the “from” field. My email is also a gmail, and we are all subscribed to the newsletter.

  • Is she a subscriber to the email list? (not just a WP admin user)

    You will need to check with the Email Users plugin to try and see a log of recipients: is the email in that list?

    If so, how are the emails sent? If you’re using standard WP sending, you wont get much info – try installing a SMTP sending plugin – then check on the email sending account if it is in the send log.

    Then check the receiving user email log.

    Follow the email…

    Yes, the writer sends to both subscribers and admin (I have both admin and subscriber test accounts and they all receive the newsletter; however, the writer herself isn’t receiving her own letter). Newsletters are sent from a form that’s put there by the plugin. Is the SMTP sending plugin a plugin that simply creates a sent log? And with the plugin installed, do we just keep using Email Users to send newsletters or do we send from the plugin’s mail form?

    SMTP plugin provides SMTP sending (overrides WP’s default mail sending and uses more secure SMTP with better tracking), forcing the emails to go through an email account, providing greater security, better receiving (less go to spam) and provide email trail/log

    default mail() in WP provides zero logging and tracking

    Setup a free sendgrid account and use that in the SMTP settings.

    I think I understand SMTP…it basically allows your WP site to use your email account (like gmail) when you send a message rather than have your website “spoof” your ‘from’ email, is that correct? Also, can the SMTP plugin (the one you recommended) be used with existing email/newsletter plugins? If so, that would be great as we have styled newsletter templates and won’t have to do that all over again.

    Yes, your understanding is correct.
    SMTP just sends the message through SMTP – doesn’t change the email itself
