Send WordPress emails from Microsoft365 or Google Workspace

In an attempt to enhance the detection of scams, there are both stricter email delivery requirements and a reduction in the number of reliable email sending options.

The most significant impact is on email addresses that are not associated with a specific individual, which usually includes printers, scanners, and websites.

For WordPress websites, the most effective solution is to switch to a secure connection with your cloud email provider. Microsoft365 and Google Workspace are the most widely used providers among our clients.

We recommend the FluentSMTP plugin for this purpose.

Here are the steps involved:

1. Review your website for any existing email plugins and record their settings.
2. Install the plugin.
3. Configure the plugin to work with Microsoft365, Google Workspace, or another email provider of your choice.
4. Test the email sending functionality.
5. Remove any pre-existing email sending plugins from your website.
