    Hi guys,

    I am just wondering why there isn’t a way to use your premium 0365 / Gmail server to send out wordpress mails. Now it is always necessary to find a plugin that works.
    I find this rather annoying as there is a lot of spam going around and mail should be send using OAuth 2.0 via trusted servers. If this isn’t the case they may often end up in spam and the customer won’t get good service.

    Is this something that would be included in worpress by default any time in the future?

    WordPress (by default) does use PHP’s mail() function,
    it does NOT care at all how is it configured, source address is always wordpress@(your.site)

    It is not going to be changed in the forseeable future (However you can always search for a ticket and subscribe to one, or fill one, if one does not yet exists) at https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn

    Any non-default configurations should be done using plugins.

    Hello @dyin , the answer from @fierevere is pretty solid. WordPress uses only PHP’s mail() function by default, however, you may go ahead and integrate it with dozens of other email services.

    For example, a popular plugin such as WP Mail SMTP by WPForms can help you send your emails through Gmail, Sendinblue, Mailgun, Zoho, or other services. In fact, I have myself installed in on a couple of high-traffic WooCoomerce websites that send all their order notifications through Sendinblue and it works like charm.

    Let us know if that is good enough for you!
