WP Mail SMTP Help: Fix WordPress Email Deliverability

Your WordPress emails land in spam or don't arrive at all? We set up WP Mail SMTP with a real SMTP service plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC so contact and order emails are delivered reliably – remote, from €79/h incl. VAT.

What's included

  • SMTP sending instead of unreliable PHP mail
  • SPF, DKIM & DMARC set in DNS
  • Brevo, Microsoft 365 & own SMTP servers
  • Email log & real delivery tests
  • Remote maintenance, from €79/h

WordPress sends emails by default via the server's PHP mail() function – which often lands in spam or gets rejected entirely by mail providers. The result: contact form messages, order confirmations, password resets or WooCommerce emails reach no one. Typical causes are a missing or wrong sender address, unset SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in DNS, or unauthenticated sending. WP Mail SMTP fixes this by routing mail through a real SMTP service – but configuring API keys, ports and DNS records correctly is error-prone.

We first analyze why your emails aren't arriving, then set up WP Mail SMTP with a suitable provider – such as Brevo, SMTP.com, SendLayer, Microsoft 365 or your own SMTP server. We configure sender address and name, set SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in DNS where needed, and enable the email log to trace delivery. Then we test real deliveries to several providers. Billed transparently from €79/h incl. VAT, no subscription and with a free quote upfront.

Frequently asked questions

Why aren't my WordPress emails arriving?
Usually it's the PHP mail() function and missing authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC). We switch sending to SMTP and set the DNS records correctly.
Which SMTP provider should I use?
It depends on volume and requirements. We recommend and configure suitable providers like Brevo, SendLayer, Microsoft 365 or your own server.
Can I see whether an email was sent?
Yes, we enable the WP Mail SMTP email log. That way you see which emails were sent successfully and where issues occur.
What does WP Mail SMTP setup cost?
We bill transparently by effort from €79/h incl. VAT, no subscription. You get a free quote upfront with a realistic hour estimate.
