    I have installed this plugin into a site, and the majority of emails are now sending through smtp.

    However I can see from my dmarc reports that some emails are still being sent from the server and are bypassing smtp.

    I have no idea what emails these are as there is no way to tell or how they are bypassing smtp.

    Any clues.

    Hi there @lordsnake,

    WP Mail SMTP can only send emails that go through the built-in wp_mail function in WordPress. Some plugins will use their own sending methods, but most will go through wp_mail. Any that don’t, will not be sent through your mailer service.

    Additionally, email can be sent by your server that is not related to your site. Many hosts provide email as part of the hosting package. If you’re sending email through an address associated with your hosting account, it also will not go through your mailer.

    You could try reaching out to your web host to find out if they are logging outgoing email attempts. They may be able to provide more insight on these emails.

    I hope that helps!

    Have a great weekend!
