But even if you only have a contact form on your site, it is certainly no less important to receive every inquiry from your customers.

How does WordPress send emails?
WordPress by default uses the PHP function mailto send emails from the site.

This built-in functionality does not allow for customizations, such as changing the sender's name and email address, or using email authentication technologies. This is often the reason why emails from the site end up in the recipient's SPAM folder. And with stricter anti-SPAM protections, some recipients may not even be delivered to this folder.

Here's how WordPress sends emails by default:

Email sending functionality is built-in (uses the PHP function mail);
The sender's name and email are set automatically; name: WordPress, email: [email protected];
There is no panel to manage email settings (for example, to change the sender's name and email);
There is no option to choose an email server from which to send emails;
Email authentication with SPF and DKIM cannot be used (since emails are sent from the host [email protected]);
There is no panel for editing system emails (for forgotten password, new user, new comment, etc.).
In order for emails to be sent and received successfully without ending up in the recipients' SPAM folder, they must be sent through an SMTP mail server .

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol and standard for sending email on the Internet. Using an SMTP mail server will improve the delivery of emails from the site because they can be used with email authentication technologies (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), which are checked by the recipients (Gmail, Yahoo and other email providers).

For this purpose, you will need an additional WordPress plugin such as WP Mail SMTP ( 2+ million active installations). With it, you will be able to set correct sender data (name and email address) and use a real existing email address (to the site domain).

Once you activate and configure the WP Mail SMTP plugin, all emails will be sent through its email functionality. Including emails from additionally installed plugins for subscription, contact form, newsletter, email notifications, and more.

WP Mail SMTP is the most popular plugin that allows you to manage your website's email settings. There are other plugins for sending via SMTP mail server: Easy WP SMTP (600k+ active installations) and Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log (300k+ active installations).

In any case, if you send or plan to send any emails to your users and customers through the site, enable SMTP sending.
