You can now select a specific custom template for _each_ form directly from the plugin settings! ✅ **Global or CF7-Only Mode:** Choose whether to override all WordPress emails with this SMTP configuration or limit it exclusively to Contact Form 7 submissions. ✅ **Live testing:** a module for testing e-mail settings with the Rest-Api (that avoid to reload the page for this kind of test). The entire output of the php mailer will be captured, which will be useful in case of configuration errors or to get the wrong parameter when is possible. ✅ **Automated Reports:** choose when and what email you want to receive the report and I will send you a beautifully formatted HTML summary of sent and failed emails. Includes log retention settings to keep your database clean. ✅ **Advanced Headers & Security:** Easily automatically set“ Reply-To” headers, allow insecure options for self-signed certificates, and define custom “From Name” and “From Email” settings. This plugin is ads free and I don’t want to try to sell you any pro version! If you want to contribute, there are many ways to do so, from simple suggestions and bug reports to translating and contributing code. See below how to do it! ### SMTP SMTP stands for ‘Simple Mail Transfer Protocol’. It is a connection-oriented, text- based network protocol of the Internet protocol family and as such is on the seventh layer of the ISO/OSI model, the application layer. Like any other network protocol, it contains the rules for proper communication between networked computers. SMTP is specifically responsible for sending and forwarding e-mails from a sender to a recipient. Since its release in 1982 as the successor to the ‘Mail Box Protocol’ in Arpanet, SMTP has become the standard protocol for sending e-mails. However, the SMTP procedure remains largely invisible to the normal consumer, as it is executed in the background by the e-mail programme used. Only if the software, the webmail application on the browser or the mobile e-mail application does not automatically determine the SMTP protocol when creating an account, does it have to be set manually to ensure smooth e-mail traffic. #### SMTP presets 1. Aruba 2. Gmail (tls and ssl) 3. Yahoo (tls and ssl) 4. Outlook (tls and ssl) 5. Office365 (tls) #### OAuth2 Setup **Google Gmail** To use Gmail with OAuth2, you need to create a Google Cloud Project: 1. Go to **Google Cloud Console** (console.cloud.google.com). 2. Create a new project. 3. Go to **APIs & Services > Credentials** and click **Create Credentials > OAuth client ID**. 4. Application type: **Web application**. 5. **Authorized redirect URIs**: Copy the URL from the plugin settings (e.g., `https://your-site.com/wp-admin/ admin.php?page=cf7-smtp&oauth2_callback=1`). 6. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** into the plugin settings. 7. Important: Go to **OAuth consent screen > Test users** and add your email address if the app is in “Testing” mode. 8. Click** Connect with OAuth2** in the plugin settings. **Microsoft Office 365** 1. Go to the **Azure Portal** (portal.azure.com). 2. Navigate to **Azure Active Directory > App registrations > New registration**. 3. Enter an application name and set the **Redirect URI** (Web) to the exact URL provided in the plugin settings. 4. Go to **Certificates & secrets** and create a new client secret. Copy the secret’s Value. 5. Go to **API permissions > Add a permission > Microsoft Graph > Delegated permissions** and add `SMTP.Send` and `offline_access`. 6. Copy the **Application (client) ID** and the **Client Secret** into the plugin settings. 7. Click **Connect with OAuth2**. Would you like to find more presets (that you think are useful to other users)? Open a request in the support form and provide the necessary connection data (auth, server address and port). In the next cf7-smtp version you will find the required configuration among the presets. #### Security It’s warmly advised to use OAuth2 for supported providers (Gmail, Office365) so no passwords are saved. If using basic SMTP authentication, it is highly recommended to store at least the password into wp-config.php as a constant. And in addition, it’s also very easy! It needs only to add ``` define( 'CF7_SMTP_USER_PASS', 'mySecr3tp4ssWord' ); ``` into your `wp-config.php` just before ``` /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ ``` All passwords will be stored encrypted, but still it is not good practice to put it into database! #### Quick setup as with the user password other constants can also be defined. Available constant are CF7_SMTP_HOST, CF7_SMTP_PORT, CF7_SMTP_AUTH, CF7_SMTP_USER_NAME, CF7_SMTP_USER_PASS, CF7_SMTP_FROM_MAIL, CF7_SMTP_FROM_NAME But, to quickly set up the plugin there is one constant that wraps all the others, so in case you manage multiple websites this will be very convenient! ``` define( 'CF7_SMTP_SETTINGS', array( 'host' => string, 'port' => number, 'auth' => ''|'tls'|'ssl', 'user_name' => string, 'user_pass' => string, 'replyTo' => true|false, 'insecure' => true|false, 'from_mail' => email, 'from_name' => string, 'smtp_mode' => 'cf7'|'override', )); ``` #### Template Wouldn’t it be better to have a small container to make our mail a little prettier? Well we have it! You can now assign specific templates to each of your forms via the plugin settings dashboard. To use your own custom templates for emails, simply create them by following these steps: 1. Create a folder named `cf7-smtp/` or `templates/ cf7-smtp/` in your theme (or child theme) folder. 2. Create a `.php` or `.html` template file inside it. 3. Go to the plugin settings under **Style > Form Email Templates**, and select your newly found custom template from the dropdown menu for the desired form. 4. (Optional) You can customize the logo, website link, and other template parts. Checkout the filter documentation on GitHub/wiki. ### Support Community support: via the [support forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cf7-smtp/) on wordpress.org Bug reporting (preferred): file an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/erikyo/cf7-smtp) #### Contribute We love your input!
