In this episode, I want to share with you how to send email reliably from a WordPress website. By default, WordPress sends email using the built-in functions of the programming language it was built with. The issue is that any emails WordPress sends could look like spam since the email didn't come from the email server for that domain name. The solution is to use an email protocol called SMTP to send the email. This can be configured using a WordPress plugin called WP Mail SMTP. Finally, I will demonstrate how to install WP Mail SMTP and configure it on a WordPress website. I hope you enjoy it.
