The ability to deliver emails directly from your account on a membership basis is massive!

The second, and equally vital, you need to be sure that your messages are quickly and efficiently to your members their inboxes.

Over the years of assistance, I've only met the owners of a few websites who had even given an ounce of consideration to how the emails are sent out and the place they're sent from, and what possible issues they could face in the event they decide to stop using WordPress email to be the default.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but the truth that WordPress will nearly always be able to send out emails with no need even touch your fingers to do it is stunning. There are however a number of possible issues to be taken into consideration.

The problem lies with WordPress Mail

To avoid becoming technological, WordPress (by default) will try to send emails using a local mail server when it's feasible. This is essentially 99percent of the time, your emails will be sent through the same server which your website is hosted on. That may not sound so terrible, however, there are some things which are often overlooked

• Are you on one of the shared hosting servers? If yes, what has people on your server done to tarnish its reputation with the email service providers?
• What is the history the IP address on the server's server has to do that is associated with blocks on email?
• Do you have the option with your webhosting provider to modify the "From" address for mail as well as the "From" name, which is displayed in the email messages that are sent out?
• Does your webhosting company have restrictions on the amount of emails you're able to send out each day or month? If yes, what exactly are these limits? What is the probability that you will meet these limits?
• What is the current availability of your server is hosted by your host provider? And how will they handle issues?
• What happens to emails that don't get through? Do they get retested or are they simply discarded?
• How many other users are in the same server as you? What's the speed with the speed at which websites respond to requests?

There are many other issues however these are the ones that are most commonly encountered and provide a good start in finding out the reliability of the email provider you use. will be reliable or not.

Consider, as an example, you've put a Reminder email in the system to inform members about a week prior to when their credit cards run out. Imagine you have 800 customers (a somewhat exaggerated figure however it's not impossible to imagine as a massive subscription site) with credit cards that expire at the end of this month.          Watch >> email overview

The day the reminder goes off, the company will also send 800 emails during the course of the day those customers, informing the customers to change the information on their credit card.

What if your mail server was put on the block list of several of the major email service providers. Who among the 800 people who would never see this email as it's classified as spam?

Think about these concerns if want to cut down on costs of financial and customer service stress. This is crucial if you are managing a site for memberships with similar features to .

There's a solution to the problem!

Now you're probably considering "Great! Another reason to be stressed and worry about." However, I've got one benefit that is these difficulties can be avoided.

In the second, you'll have to pick the third-party SMTP providers. The top selections are Mailjet, SendGrid, MailGun and Amazon SES..

The great thing about the third-party emailers is that all messages sent via email and even alerts about failure to send are recorded. If an individual complains that they are not receiving an email, look through the logs for the reason that caused problems with the delivery of their mail. The majority of times, this is due to the fact that the user has incorrectly filled in their email address while signing up.

The process of setting up a Third Party Email Service

MailGun and Amazon both offer free plans you can use, but for this installation guide, I will be using SendGrid.

 Step 1: Sign Up to SendGrid

Head to https://sendgrid.com/user/signup and create your free account.

Step 2 - Inform WordPress to forward email messages via SendGrid

It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple. I promise. You can go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New. Then, search the web in search of "SendGrid" and install SendGrid, the original SendGrid plugin.

The precedence of this it and will take precedence over "Name" along with"Sending Address" and "Sending Address" fields under "Mail Settings"," thus there's no need to fill those in.

That's it! It's now possible to be assured that your messages will be delivered quickly and SendGrid manages all of the stressors so that it is easier for you.
