SMTP Explained

SMTP, or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the industry standard for sending emails across the internet. It plays a critical role in the email delivery process, acting as the protocol that governs the transmission of emails from one server to another. Understanding SMTP is essential for anyone managing email communications, particularly in a WordPress environment. If you do not use a proper SMTP relay service, your emails might go to spam, compromising their effectiveness and reach.

HTTP API Integration

Now, with the latest update, Simple SMTP by Maileroo offers HTTP API integration with Maileroo. This feature allows you to send emails via the Maileroo API, without the need for SMTP credentials. This is a great option for users whose hosting providers block SMTP ports or for those who prefer to use the Maileroo API for email delivery.

Is it possible to add custom email headers (tags) to an email message?

For the SMTP method of the plugin, you can easily add custom mail headers. In the example below, a tag header with the value of the “From Email” is added:

add_action('ssbm_add_custom_header', function($phpmailer) {
  $phpmailer->addCustomHeader('X-Tag-from', $phpmailer->From);
});

A similar filter hook is available for the Maileroo API method. The following example adds the same tag header to the email message.

add_filter('ssbm_add_tags_api_method', function($payload) {
  if (isset($payload['from']['address'])) {
    $payload['tags'] = array('from' => $payload['from']['address']);
  }
  return $payload;
});
