WordPress Settings
Configure PressedMail integration with WordPress settings and permissions.
The WordPress Email tab routes wp_mail() (password resets, order receipts, plugin notifications, form submissions) through one of your connected accounts, replacing a separate SMTP plugin.
Routing system email
- Open Settings → WordPress Email.
- Switch routing on and choose the connected account that should carry system mail.
- Set the From name and address WordPress should present, overriding the defaults.
- Send a test message and confirm it arrives.
Routing uses no account slot. The connection you pick simply carries system mail alongside its own.
Why route it
- Deliverability: system mail leaves through a real authenticated mailbox instead of the web server's PHP mail, which providers increasingly refuse.
- One credential set: the SMTP details already encrypted for the inbox serve system mail too.
- Visibility: a delivery log records what wp_mail() sent and what happened to it, with retention you control and a clear button.
Behaviour notes
- If the routed account is removed, routing falls back rather than silently dropping mail. Reassign it to another connection.
- Other plugins that override wp_mail() can conflict; run one system-mail plugin at a time.
- The log records metadata only, not message bodies.
