Send email with SMTP

Currently yahoo really make slaphappy webmasters. Initial intention hell to deal with spammers, but it is happening is the e-mails actually waiting for any user-taxable bandwagon raids. One of them sent by email validation wp-affiliate.

But still, with the help of SMTP, we can send emails as if from gmail or google apps account of our own. Even so we just limited to sending 500 emails a day aja. How do I?

First we first install a plugin that will change the WordPress e-mail system with SMTP. There are many new plugins and I actually tried this plugin aja. But thank God to be connected with gmail SMTP is very easy. Name of plugin: Configure SMTP

Please install it first on your WordPress. Once installed, you will get a new menu under the Settings menu is SMTP. Click and let's configuration.

There are 3 options that we need to consider the

1. Send e-mail address via GMail?
2. SMTP username
3. SMTP password
4. Sender e-mail
5. Sender name

Give check the number 1 then the SMTP data fields will be filled automatically. Next enter your gmail username and password. If you use google apps, then the username is your email address and password remain the same.

Sender e-mail, fill in your email (should be the same, I have not try if different) and the sender name so your name, cook my name .. hehehe

If so click the Save Changes button.

Now you can test your settings by clicking the Send Test Email. Emails will be sent to the email address you entered in Settings - General.
