SMTP and email-service connections
GoSMTP sends WordPress email through SMTP or provider APIs instead of the hosting server’s PHP mail function, which can help avoid host sending limits and reputation problems.
Free connections include SMTP.com, Sendinblue, Mailgun, SendGrid, SparkPost, Sendlayer, Postmark and Maileroo. Pro adds Elastic Email, SMTP2Go, Gmail and Google Workspace, Outlook and Office 365, AWS, Zoho, Resend and MailerSend. Custom SMTP is also supported, so sites with an existing provider can use it without switching services.
Email logs, recovery and WordPress Abilities
Pro adds tools to review and recover email, while WordPress Abilities let AI clients access selected settings and email operations.
- Email logs and resending: Pro records outgoing email and supports individual or bulk resending, useful for investigating failures or recovering missed messages.
- Failure notifications: Alerts can go to email, Slack or Discord, giving site operators a choice of where to monitor delivery issues.
- Free Abilities: AI clients can retrieve general settings without exposed credentials, list configured mailers and backup connections, and send a test email.
- Pro Abilities: These include listing and exporting logs, viewing log details, resending a logged message to its original or a new recipient, and retrieving aggregated sending reports.
What GoSMTP Pro adds
Pro is aimed at sites that need more mailer choices and ongoing visibility or control over outgoing email.
- Operational tools: Email reports, logging, resending and failure notifications are among the Pro features; reports summarize sending outcomes, while smart routing selects providers based on message content.
- Additional mailers: Pro connections include services such as Gmail, Outlook, AWS and Zoho, alongside other providers.
- Listed as upcoming: Email-view and click tracking, email printing and multisite support are described as coming soon, so they should not be treated as current capabilities.
Frequent updates, with little public support data
GoSMTP’s adoption and recent maintenance are encouraging, but public feedback offers little basis for judging satisfaction or support responsiveness.
It is described as widely installed and has a good rating based on few reviews, so the rating is a limited signal rather than a broad consensus. The plugin was updated within the last two weeks, indicating recent maintenance; no public support threads are listed. Sites considering it should weigh that maintenance alongside the limited review and support evidence.
