Send Emails with Mandrill

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 51% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   We haven’t had any issues with the plug-in and it’s sending hundreds of emails every week for our woocommerce website for the last year.

   I had trouble integrating Mandrill manually, but this plugin was a fantastic find. Despite my initial concerns about its lack of recent updates and a small support team, I’m happy to report that it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this plugin for Mandrill setup—it’s easy to use and flawlessly effective.

   Great that this plugin got a second life! It beats tons of other SMTP plugins trying to support mandrill. It needs a few updates to be fully PHP7.4 compatible and it would be great to have a few extra options (thing return_path_domain etc). On that note: I can help if that would in this great effort!?

   Thank you for taking the initiative to fork the unsupported plugin and get it working with modern PHP.

   The old unsupported Mandrill app had begun causing errors on our website. It caused issues with our WooCommerce installation. Luckily we found this plugin just in time to fix all of our problems. Thank you! Thank you!
