Custom Configuration Settings for SMTP Email

This plugin sets and configures SMTP email (edit with username and password) by allowing the user to customize their sender email, return path and sender name.

• Set SMTP and connect to mail server — Added 2.0.0
• Set from address — Included since 1.0.0, Updated 3.4.0
• Set sender name to site name — Included since 1.0.0, Updated 3.4.0
• Set sender address — Added 2.2.2

The sender from name has been included to override plugins that hardcode the admin email address as the sender name.

Copy the below variables to your wp-config file and adjust to your needs
// CUSTOM EMAIL
define(‘EDL_SMTP_HOST’, ‘smtp-relay.gmail.com’); // The hostname of the mail server
define(‘EDL_SMTP_AUTH’, false); // Use SMTP authentication (true|false)
define(‘EDL_SMTP_PORT’, ‘587’); // SMTP port number – likely to be 25, 465 or 587
define(‘EDL_SMTP_USER’, ‘[email protected]’); // Username to use for SMTP authentication (only if auth set to true)
define(‘EDL_SMTP_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’); // Password to use for SMTP authentication (only if auth set to true)
define(‘EDL_SMTP_SECURE’, ‘tls’); // Encryption system to use – ssl or tls
define(‘EDL_EMAIL_DOMAIN’, ‘example.com’);
define(‘EDL_MAIL_FROM’, ‘[email protected]’);
define(‘EDL_MAIL_FROM_NAME’, ‘Sender’);
define(‘EDL_MAIL_TO’, ‘[email protected]’);

The from address has logic to override bad email domains when your site is on a subdomain
