Usage

Native

The native mailer uses the native PHP mail function to send emails.

MAIL_MAILER=native

SMTP

The smtp mailer uses an SMTP server without authentification to send emails. For example, you can use MailHog to test emails locally.

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025

SMTPS

The smtps mailer uses an SMTP server with authentification to send emails.

MAIL_MAILER=smtps
MAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=123456ABCDEF
MAIL_PASSWORD=123456ABCDEF
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Once the configuration is set up, you can send emails using the wp-cli command:

wp eval 'wp_mail("john_doe@example", "Test e-mail from " . home_url(), "This is a test");'
