IMPORTANT! Keep in mind when sending emails through WordPress using the native WordPress core mailer, emails originate from the server itself. There are too many potential configurations to name, but keep in mind the test results above should indicate where the email is originated from.
But if email is routing through a 3rd party server such as Microsoft, the results might display an indication of Microsoft. There are also several other scenarios which can be at play. For example, if the website is hosted at BlueHost and all email is routing through BlueHost servers, then you might see a BlueHost server IP address or domain name indication in the SPF results associated to BlueHost. BlueHost, HostGator and many other hosting companies use cPanel. (visual images etc) cPanel is by far the most common used hosting control panel with php/MySQL driven websites such as WordPress. This doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the same setting modifications with another custom hosting control panel, but it just might not be exactly consistent with this tutorial. It should be noted this tutorial was written to support hosts that operate using cPanel. The first test has been completed to determine the SPF response. If SPF is configured and being utilized your results should show as “SPF record passed…”. Step 1įirst let’s run a test: go to Test SPF Validation. There are obviously other complexities that can arise that are beyond the scope of this tutorial. There are generally a few actions that need to be carried out to get email working again. As we all know, email has been abused since the beginning of widespread internet use, and all creditable email services and providers have taken great lengths to prevent SPAM and other abusive email practices. It is simply how a server and/or 3rd party email services handle emails – such as: BlueHost, Hostgator, Gmail, Microsoft Office 365 Mail, Yahoo or other similar. The true problem is not a bug or software issue. Even if you are using an SMTP Plugin to bypass the standard WordPress Mailer, it’s still not WordPress. WordPress is doing exactly what it is supposed to do in regards to how it natively handles emails. Blaming WordPress for this issue is like blaming a lake for a flat tire.
If your WordPress emails stopped sending (abruptly or never worked) and are experiencing any of the following: I hope this brief tutorial might be able to help you resolve your WordPress email issues. WordPress Emails Stopped Sending? It’s normally not fun and much times it is too late as communications have already been lost and much chaos can arise.
