Post SMTP

Maileroo provides seamless WordPress integration through the Post SMTP plugin, which now includes direct Email API integration. You can configure and send all outgoing emails via our Email API or traditional SMTP servers. This prevents your emails from landing in spam folders and ensures reliable delivery.

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Create Email API Credentials in Maileroo

1. Login to your Maileroo account and access the Email API service.
2. Click on Domains in the left sidebar to access domain management.
3. Locate your domain in the domains list and click Overview.
4. Navigate to Sending Keys in the navbar that appears.
5. Click New Sending Key + in the top right corner.
6. Create a unique identifier (name) for this key (e.g., WordPress Site - Production).
7. Copy the generated API key.

Choose a meaningful name for your API key like WordPress Production or Main Website to easily identify it later. You can create multiple keys for different environments (development, staging, production). If your API key gets compromised, simply delete it and generate a new one.

When entering your from name and from email, ensure you add useful and relevant information from the domain you are setting this up for. This helps with email deliverability and brand recognition.

3.3 Test Your Email Configuration

1. Run a test email to ensure you have configured your setup correctly.
2. Check your inbox to verify the test email was received.
3. Complete the setup once the test is successful.

Step 4: Verify Configuration

1. Verify the test email was received in your inbox (not spam folder).

3. Monitor email logs in Post SMTP for any delivery issues.

Verify that:

• ✅ The test email is received in the inbox (not spam).
• ✅ There are no bounce errors in Maileroo logs.
• ✅ The proper From address is displayed.
• ✅ The API integration is working correctly.

Your WordPress site is now configured to send emails through Maileroo's reliable Email API service.
