Optimizing for email deliverability & troubleshooting
Option 1: Sending emails through WordPress (default)
By default, Optin Bait Delivery sends emails using WordPress’ built in email functionality (using the wp_mail() function). On most hosts, email deliverability should be good. For example, WordPress uses this same feature to send password reset emails, and popular shopping carts such as WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads use it to send purchase receipts.
Should you choose this option, it’s recommended you use wordpress@yourdomain.com as the from: email address.
Note:
Some servers don’t support sending emails. In this case, please try “Option 2”.
Option 2: Sending emails through a transactional email provider (recommended)
This option is highly recommended for the best email deliverability. Transactional email providers send your emails for you to ensure the best deliverability. The easiest & cheapest options to set up transactional emails for WordPress are Mandrill and Mailgun.
Mandrill
Mandrill uses Mailchimp’s email infrastructure to send emails. We recommend setting up Mandrill for your WordPress site using WPMandrill. Mandrill is free for up to 12,000 emails per month.
Mailgun
Mailgun is another great transactional email provider. We recommend using the Mailgun plugin. Mailgun lets you send 10,000 emails per month for free.
And that’s all there Optin Bait Delivery with Optin Cat.
