 * Hello, we successfully use this plugin across a number of sites however on this
   site we have a couple of (probably related) issues:
 * 1. We are unable to change the settings. They look like they’re set correctly
   but no changes to these settings can be saved. The old settings always re-appear
   
   2. We are unable to actually send. Everything is set correctly however the log
   shows that the plugin is attempting to send the email as root@localhost
 * SMTP Error: data not accepted.SMTP server error: DATA END command failed Detail:
   Message rejected: Email address is not verified. The following identities failed
   the check in region US-WEST-2: root@localhost, Root User
 * Is this some kind of permissions issue?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frootlocalhost%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
