The possibility of sending emails directly to your email account, on a basis of membership is a huge benefit!

The second, and equally crucial, is that you must make sure your emails will be delivered quickly and effectively your members their inboxes.

Over the years of assistance in the past, I've met only the administrators of a couple of websites who've even considered giving the slightest thought to how the emails are sent out and the place they're sent from. They also have to consider what challenges they may face in the event they choose to cease using WordPress emails as the default.

While I'm not saying it's not possible yet, the reality that WordPress is almost always capable of sending emails with no need even touch your fingers to do it is amazing. There's a myriad of issues to consider.

The issue lies in WordPress Mail

In order to avoid becoming too technological, WordPress (by default) will attempt to send emails through a local server whenever it's possible. In the majority of the time, your emails will be sent through the same server that your website is hosted on. This may not seem so terrible, however, there are some things which tend to be overlooked.

• Are you on one of these hosted servers that share hosting? If so, what have individuals on your server committed to ruin its image with the email service providers?
• What's the story behind what an IP address of the server's server is able to do that is associated with blocks on email?
• Have you the possibility through your webhosting service provider to modify the "From" address for mail , as well as for the "From" name, which appears on the emails sent out?
• Does your webhosting company have limits on how many emails you're allowed to deliver each either during the day or in the each month? If so, what is the limit? How likely is it that you'll meet the limits?
• What's the status of your server is hosted by the host provider? And how will they handle problems?
• What happens to emails which don't make it through? Are they retested, or are they simply discarded?
• What number of other users share the same server? How fast is the rate at which websites respond to your requests?

There are many other issues but these are the ones that are most commonly encountered and provide the best chance to figure whether the provider of your email. will be reliable or not.

As an example that you've added a reminder email in the system to send out reminders to members a week prior to when their credit card runs out. Imagine that you've got 800 members (a somewhat exaggerated figure however it's not impossible to imagine being a large subscription site) with credit cards that expire on the last day of the month. Watch >> email overview

On the day that the reminder is set to go off, the firm will also send 800 email messages over the course of the day for customers informing customers to change the information on their credit cards.

What happens if your server was put on the blocked list by many of the top services for email. Who among the 800 people that would not see this email as it's designated as spam?

Consider these issues if you want to cut down on the costs associated with financial and customer service stress. This is crucial if you are managing a site for members with the same features as .

The solution is in the problem!

You're probably thinking "Great! Another reason to stress and worry about." However, I've got one positive side effect that's that these issues can be avoided.

The second option is that you'll need to select third-party SMTP service providers. Some of the top choices are Mailjet, SendGrid, MailGun and Amazon SES..

The great thing about the third-party emailers is that all messages sent via email or even notifications about the inability to send are recorded. If a user complains they don't receive an email, search the logs to determine the cause for the problem that led to the transmission of their email. In the majority of cases it is because of the fact that the user had a mistake in filling in the correct email address when signing up.

How to set up the process of setting up a Third Party Email Service

MailGun as well as Amazon both offer no-cost plans that you can take advantage of However, for this tutorial, I'll use SendGrid.

   Step 1: Sign Up to SendGrid  

Head to https://sendgrid.com/user/signup and create your free account.

Step 2 - Inform WordPress to forward emails via SendGrid

Although it sounds complex, it's actually quite easy. I promise. Go on your WordPress Dashboard and click Plugins > Add New. You can then search on the web to find "SendGrid" and then install SendGrid, the original SendGrid plugin.

The priority of this is that it will prevail over "Name" as well with"Sending Address" and "Sending Address" fields within "Mail Settings"," therefore there's no reason to fill those in.

That's it! You can now rest assured that messages will arrive quickly and efficiently. SendGrid handles all the stressors so that it is more convenient for you.
