How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

    If you have a need for logging emails on your production site, this plugin does it for free. If you have a test site, this plugin is essential. It can save you from inadvertently sending test emails to customers when they should not have ever received them. Need more convincing? I appreciated it so much, I just wrote a blog article about it, “No Escapes! Safe WordPress Email Testing.” (I would give you a link, but that is, understandably, against WordPress.org policy. Besides, you don’t need to read it. Just try the plugin!)

    A plugin that combines Disable Plugins, WP Mail Catcher and a basic replacement for WP SMTP Mail in a neat and simple interface and settings. I love it <3

    And that too free of charge. I have been looking for a long time and finally found what I was looking for.

    Great for running on test sites to ensure you can fully test mail outs and messages but not leak emails to actual users. Thanks

    I use this plugin in my local developmental site and it works flawlessly, catches all emails going out and shows all emails in admin panel. Replaces all emails, to, cc, bcc, with the email in settings. Awesome work. thank you developer.

    Just exactly what I needed. I use this to stop all emails from going to actual users while testing stuff. Great job!
