 * Hello,
    I just installed this plugin and it works fine. Please let me ask two
   stupid questions : 1 : Does this plugin replaces the standard WP php wp_mail()
   function so it uses the smtp server i configured ? and all the installed plugins
   also uses my smtp server ? 2 : In my php scripts i uses the wp_mail() function
   = does it uses my smtp server as configured also ? Thanks

 * Hi.
 * 1. No, it doesn’t replace the function itself, it replaces the PHP class that
   is used to send emails with own by putting there own settings. Yes, all the installed
   plugins will use the new settings defined in WP Mail SMTP.
 * 2. Yes, if in your code you use `wp_mail()` – settings from WP Mail SMTP will
   be used and email will be sent using a selected mailer.
