WP Mail From II

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 · 86% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I have a WordPress installation on a local network, sending emails through sSMTP. The mail relay does not allow default “From” addresses to have “wordpress@home” with no “.com.” The plugin allows me to change the email address to be valid, and allows mails to go through.

   Great plugin. This is the only 1 out 4 (found here on WP.org repo) that would work in one of WP Engine’s environment (one of of their different infrastructure providers).

   The plugin worked for me, using 4.5.3. If you’re here, you might be having issues with your hosting account sending emails as something like (BlueHost): [email protected] This is a problem. 1) It doesn’t look professional, 2) it hands out your username! This plugin helps you catch any plugins using [email protected], making it more of a one-stop solution, rather than digging through each of your plugin’s settings to possibly find a solution.

   It just does what it is supposed to do. Thanks. P.S. I think these settings should part of WordPress core.
