Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sending e-mails is a key element in the smooth running of a WordPress site. Whether it's order confirmations, form messages, registration notifications or password retrieval, every message needs to arrive quickly, reliably and, above all, in the inbox - not in the spam folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, WordPress' native e-mail system (based on the mail()<\/code> of PHP) is often a source of problems: e-mails not received, bad sender reputation, blocking by mail servers, or a total lack of traceability. The result: you lose leads, customers and sometimes even the trust of your users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve these problems, the use of a professional SMTP service such as SMTP.com<\/strong> is a must. Recognized for high deliverability, security and stability, SMTP.com<\/strong> allows your WordPress site to send e-mails like a true professional platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once these elements have been assembled, you can proceed to the detailed configuration below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Setting up your SMTP.com account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To get started, you need a SMTP.com<\/strong>. This account will be linked to your WordPress site to ensure reliable e-mail delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you already have an account SMTP.com<\/strong>simply log in. Or create a new one now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When creating a new account SMTP.com<\/strong>A few additional steps are required after registration. These steps prevent spammers from registering for the service, which helps to maintain the quality and reliability of the platform. SMTP.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start by checking your inbox and clicking on the activation link sent to you. You will also need to accept the SMTP.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next, the SMTP.com<\/strong> will review and validate your account. This can take up to 24 heures<\/strong>. You may be asked for additional information, so keep an eye on your e-mail inbox for any updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once your account SMTP.com<\/strong> You'll then be able to start configuring your mailing service. Keep your account tab or window open, as you'll need it for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Configuring your site's DNS settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Authentication is an essential step in ensuring e-mail deliverability. It enables e-mail providers to verify that your messages come from a legitimate source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SMTP.com<\/strong> uses a recording SPF<\/strong> to authenticate your e-mails. You will therefore need to add this record to the DNS<\/strong> of your domain. You'll also need to set up a DKIM<\/strong> before you can send e-mails with SMTP.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong> For more details on modifying your site's DNS settings, see our tutorial on adding records DNS<\/strong> for configuring WPMasterToolKit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also consult the SMTP.com<\/strong> to obtain detailed information on recordings DNS<\/strong> to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SMTP.com<\/strong> offers a simple integration process for easy access to records DNS<\/strong> required to authenticate your domain. To get started, go to their onboarding portal and log in with your login details SMTP.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sending Domain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first step is to define your sending domain<\/strong>. It must correspond to your site's domain.
    To start the verification process, enter your site's domain in the field What is your sending domain?<\/strong>then click on Next<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Add SPF registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After adding the sending domain<\/strong>registration SPF<\/strong> to be configured is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Click on the copy icon to copy this recording SPF<\/strong>then you can add it in the parameters DNS<\/strong> of your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You can also listen to the recording SPF<\/strong> from your account dashboard SMTP.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the top menu, click on Account \" My Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In the GENERAL<\/strong>you should see the recording SPF<\/strong> next :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    v=spf1 include:_spf.smtp.com ~all<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    You must add this record to the DNS<\/strong> of your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    In the DNS configuration zone, you may see a field called TTL (Time To Live)<\/strong> for this record. If you have the option of modifying it, we recommend that you set a value of 1 day<\/strong> (or 86400 seconds<\/strong>depending on the unit used by your DNS provider).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Once the SPF record has been correctly added, return to the onboarding portal and click on Verify SPF<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Once the DNS changes have been propagated, you can continue and add the DKIM<\/strong> for your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    In some cases, DNS changes can take up to 48 hours<\/strong> before being taken into account. You may therefore need to come back later to finalize this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Setting up DKIM registration for your domain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Before you can send emails from your domain, you need to add a DKIM<\/strong> in the settings DNS<\/strong> of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For SMTP.com<\/strong>This recording takes the form of a TXT record<\/strong> with the following configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Name \u2780<\/mark><\/strong> smtpcomcustomers._domainkey<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    TXT Value \u2781<\/mark><\/strong> to be copied from the onboarding portal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    TTL \u2782<\/mark><\/strong> 3600 seconds or 1 hour<\/strong>depending on the unit used by your manager DNS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    You will find this information in the DKIM Verification<\/strong> onboarding portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    SMTP.com<\/strong> recommends a 3600-second TTL<\/strong>. Depending on your supplier DNS<\/strong>This value may not be available. In this case, simply use the default value proposed by your provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Once you've registered DKIM<\/strong> configured, return to the onboarding portal and click on Verify DKIM<\/strong> to validate its status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Bear in mind that any changes you make to parameters DNS<\/strong> of your domain can take up to 48 hours<\/strong> before they are fully taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Once the records have been propagated, you should see the status Verified<\/strong> to be displayed under each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Note:<\/strong> For more information on recordings DKIM<\/strong> on SMTP.com<\/strong>, consult their documentation DKIM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
    Configuring WPMasterToolKit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Now that your account SMTP.com<\/strong> is ready, you can move on to configuring WPMasterToolKit. When you're ready, log in to the administration interface of your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    If you haven't already done so, be sure to install and activate the plugin WPMasterToolKit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Once the plugin is installed, go to WPMasterToolKit \" SMTP mailer<\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    API Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
