Man! I'm glad I watched this! I was getting ready
to purchase an email suite for $259.00.
I've watched a number of Adam's videos and
they are all good; concise and to the point!
Adam great video! Absolutely loved the shotgun analogy, awesome dude! Glad you started the conversation. I would like to add some important points. Yes you MUST send emails authenticated. Plus your domain name should have a SPF record that says the SMTP service has the right to send email on your domain names behalf. Plus a DKIM record in DNS is highly recommended as well. We add 'Post SMTP' plugin to our clients WordPress sites and connect it to Mailgun using their API. Easier to set than SMTP.
This. All of this. If you do all Adam says but don't have this right, then you will still have email deliverability issues. I responded to Kevin Roberts above detailing my preference for using Google G Suite for clients for their users' email accounts and using a separate service for all marketing-related and transactional email. I moved away from allowing my web server to also send emails some years ago. Especially on any flavor of shared hosting. Too many variables and risks.
W Kevin Gilbert so for websites with woocomerce where lots of emails are being sent you recommend using the gmail account that the client has? You mean it works more stable?
@@culturismpunktmd I think he's talking about a GSuite email...
Fantastic video! I'm very glad to see that you actually elaborate on the reasoning behind everything that must be done, as opposed to just telling us to populate the fields with our info.
You're a live saver!! I was about to give up on all of this and this video helped me, thank you!
I'm saved YET again tonight with one of Adam's videos. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Adam for giving us soooo much value!! I deeply appreciate you!
Awesome. Thanks Adam. I've been searching YT on how to fix this issue for some couple days now. Just watched your video and I was able to fix the issue in no time. Thanks.
I loved the props.I wish I watched this two days ago. Told me what every one else didn't. Thank you.
BEST video ever. Thank you so much! I have been trying forever to figure out how to get my emails delivered. Worked perfectly.
I F-bomb-ing LOVE you. Seriously! I spent 2 to 3 weeks a few months ago banging my head against the wall trying to get an email subscription to work on my blog and failing. I had no idea why. It was so frustrating. NOW I KNOW WHY. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! A million thank yous. :-) Hopefully, now I am good to go!
Many thanks Adam ! This is the very tutorial I was waiting for !
Thank you for always making everything so simple, much appreciated!
Your tutorials are always the very best! Thanks for being easy to understand and so helpful!
Thank you! I was going mad just to trying to fix Contact form 7 mistake for sending! It works now :)
Thank you so much for your help, i used this today and it has worked perfectly. Am following you from Nairobi, Kenya
Excellent video, Adam! I had this email issue just a few days ago on my client's website. Good timing for me. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Your tutorials are awesome, really appreciate your serving us the way you do. Much appreciation!
Adam, thank you for these videos, could not figure out what I was doing wrong configuring this but you cleared it right up, appreciate it
You've come to the rescue yet again. THANK YOU Adam!!!!
Thank you for this video. I'd like to add that I couldn't get the email to work via HostGator and had to use my Office 365 email IMAP account details instead. Works like a charm now.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Thank you SOOOOO much for all you do for the wp community.
Bless You
24 hours working on that issue. Not even the Cloudways support could fix it. Now it works and I'm thankful :)
You should also ensure the SPF and DKIM (under Deliverability) settings are set in the DNS Zone of CPanel. If not the email still has a 50/50 possibility of going into spam or junk
It is setup automatically from your email provider, in this case your web host. Now if you are using Amazon SES, Yup you gotta add those entires to your DNS.
great explanation, watched few other videos (from other channels) that did not solve the problem and this one finally did :)
Simply said... my mails went into spam first. Came here. When I used the SMTP plugin mails go in the inbox as promised. Thank you, Mr.Crafter!
Awesome to hear.
"Who the hell are you?.... chak chak" Hilarious!
I died
yess
I understand visuals , that was perfect.
Thanks man. You couldn't simplify it any better. Thanks for your help.
Thanks so much this maybe from 2019 but it saved my soul! Been using Elastic mail on Cloudways and it's become eratic. Followed what you said and it just works everytime no issue. I can't thank you enough for your help. I owe you a few beers!!!!
Thanks for the video! I came to your video suggested by the Elementor User Group. You tell everything clear. Appreciate that! :)
Thank you. After watching many other videos, this was quick and super easy
Hey Adam, I have just followed this tutorial even though I have seen this video 3 months ago, that's what's great with your channel, we can go back and find info when we need them.
Thank's a lot, very helpful :)
Thanks for coming back to this video!
This was a very good tutorial, I got my email to work just as you demonstrated. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial - it helped me a lot !
thank you so much!! I´ve been struggling with this for days. P.S. Funny intro!!
This is such a great and helpful video, Adam. P.S. I loved seeing you racking the shotgun. :)
Finally working ! Thank you so much. Just made my day.
Thank you Adam for your life saving tutorials!
Very informative. Just what i needed. Thanks again Adam
DUDE! You are saving my life with these tutorials!!!!!!!!
Emails are coming into Gmail nearly as fast as my site loads! Thanks Brother!
Awesome video!!! It would have saved me a lot of frustration if I'd seen it before having to submit a ticket to A2 Hosting. Thanks for the great videos Adam!
Theatrical, informative and creative. Excellent!
Thank you.
What a great tutorial! Thanks, Adam.
Hi Adam! I love all you videos! Thanks so much for making them, they are so on point an easy to follow! I do have a question: I set up everything as you said and still my clients do not receive any emails! Do you have any ideas what I can do?
I spent all this time trying to figure out smtp services out there and never even thought of this simple solution. :-)
Thank you very much Adam.
I actually found this same info at siteground's site: www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/use-smtp
Although the video is more helpful.
I'm mostly putting this here so I can find that link later.
:-)
I love it! This solved my issue! Thank you so much!
Had a lot of fun watching this video, very informative too.
Hi Adam! What do you do with these two lines of code? The plugin suggests to put it in the wp-config file. Is it necessary?
define( 'WPMS_ON', true );
define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' );
I finally could solve my problem thanks to your good explanation. Thanks a lot!
awesome tutorial. solved my problem:) Thank you!!!
Thank you Adam for another helpful video, tho the beginning part is my favourite - very creative :)
Nice tutorial, thank you very much, I needed to add that to my site.
Thanks Again Dude you totally nailed it. Keep it coming !

Perfect! Works with Cloudways as well.

2) Applications > Application Settings > General > from address > [USERNAME]
3) Wordpress > Add new Plugin > SMTP by WP FORM > FILL IN AS PER ABOVE
DONE!

Thanks a lot man.
Thanks for great help! It is useful for me. It is all done!
Superb video! Nice move with the shotgun!
thankyou for breaking it down, was so confused!
Hi Adam, thanks for the great work...I have three web sites in SiteGround, but when I created them I didn't create emails in their server, I just put in wordpress settings the mail that I use in GMX. Whatever messages come from readers I always reply from this gmx email, that is, from a server completely independent of SiteGround. For incoming messages I use a simple contact form. Based on these features do I need a smtp plugin?
thanks dude! Worked for me :)
Thanks worked like a charm
Thank You. You are such a great presenter of info.
Thanks so much Adam. Perfect timing.
Hey your welcome!!
Do you offer any training on speeding up Wordpress sites? I've hit a wall:-)
Your video was so helpful for me. thank you sir.
Excellent content! Great advice. Triggered serious laughter, too. :)
How would you accomplish this with Cloudways as your host? Could you use this SMTP plugin to direct to Outlook or Gmail hosted elsewhere etc.?
Hi Adam, as a Cloudways user, we have two Add-on options (at the server level): the SMTP Add-on and the Elastic Email Add-on, the one I use. It is hands down the best solution, easy and powerfull. And Clouways it even allows me to use different transactional email providers for different applications on the same server. What about you, what is your SMTP setup at Cloudways?
Please Please make a video on sending bulk emails for email marketing, whenever I post a new post (Free alternatives)
Hi thank you for this video. It doesn’t seem to work for my gmail address though. Is there a different process for gmail? Sorry if this question was already asked.
Thank you very much! It is a great tutorial.
Very informative and clear video :)
Thanks you helped me on this tutorial.
