No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers who got it working call it easy to set up and effective at DKIM signing, but the two newest complaints report DKIM not being recognised and verification emails never arriving, with no reply from the developer.

    I’m seriously impressed with this plugin. Easy to configure, works a treat and succeeds in what it sets out to do, i.e. DKIM signing email. Thank you so much. It’s so good and as a free plugin I’m almost embarrassed to ask, but I will. It creates auth0_session_0 cookies and I’m happy to accept that. The only trouble is I try to keep my website as secure as possible and when I check my security headers I see auth0_session_0 cookies don’t use the secure flag. Would it be possible to have the option for these cookies to use the secure flag?

    A plugin like this was much needed in the WordPress repository. It’s a great tool to improve your email deliverability. Overall, a very helpful plugin.

    I really like this plugin. It does exactly what I needed and you get a deliverability score depending on the settings that are established in the backend. The only downside, is that it took me some external research to get the correct setup for DMARC (the ones provided, where not precise enough). Once I got it correctly, my website rated 100% on the deliverability score. Thanks.

    The plugin offers a straightforward and user-friendly experience. Following the simple instructions in the settings page, I successfully added the TXT record to my DNS and my emails were successfully signed. I particularly appreciate the delivery chart and the dashboard, which provide valuable insights on my email deliveries and how to enhance it. These features empower me to ensure a safer and more reliable communication to my customers.

    The plugin is very well made and the code is organized and clean which is truly a plus, an added value in the sea of plugins that often bring down the performance of websites due to the poor quality of the written code. It helps a lot in his mission. Especially the less experienced, but also professionals will have to do less expensive work to optimize mail delivery. I highly recommend trying it to all users who have problems with mail delivery from their WordPress site and who have to struggle with this annoying problem every day. A Swiss Army Knife for optimizing email deliverability, with practical tips that guide you step-by-step through the entire process of tracking effective email delivery.
