Top gateway setup tips

  1. SendGrid — Host mapped to smtp.sendgrid.net. Username is apikey. Password = API key.
  2. Amazon SES — Pick region. Use SES SMTP credentials (not AWS access keys).
  3. Mailgun — Pick US/EU region. Use domain SMTP login + password.
  4. Postmark — Enter Server API token only (used as username and password).
  5. Gmail — Use an App Password. Sender email should match the Gmail address.
  6. Cloudflare Email — Username api_token, password = API token with Email Sending permission.

Quick start

  1. Activate the plugin.
  2. Open VMS Multi Mailer → SMTP Accounts.
  3. Choose a gateway, enter sender + credentials, save.
  4. Set a Global default account.
  5. Click Check health, then Test email.
  6. Review Email Logs.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate VMS Elements Multi Mailer through the Plugins screen.
  3. Configure accounts under VMS Multi Mailer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a third-party SDK?

No. Delivery uses WordPress PHPMailer over SMTP.

What happens when a daily limit is reached?

Accounts with a Fallback priority (1, 2, …) are tried in order, then the global default (if still under limit). If none is available, the send fails and is logged.

Can I hide message bodies in logs for privacy?

Yes. Under Settings choose truncate/omit body, or enable GDPR-style body redaction. Redacted logs cannot restore the original body on resend.

Are passwords stored in plain text?

No. Passwords/API keys are encrypted with OpenSSL using WordPress authentication salts.

Is there WP-CLI support?

Yes: wp vms-msg test, wp vms-msg prune, and wp vms-msg health.
