Other SMTP Host

SMTP Host: enter host name in box

Encryption: None SSL TLS

For most servers TLS is the recommended option. If your host offers both SSL and TLS options, we recommend TLS as it is an improved version of SSL.

SMTP Port: Enter the port provided by your email provider

Auto TLS

By default TLS encryption is automatically used if the server supports it, which is recommended in some cases, due to server misconfigurations, this can cause issues and may need to be disabled.

Authentication: make sure this is turned on.

SMTP Username

SMTP Password

The password is stored in plain text. We highly recommend you st up your password in your WordPress configuration file for improved security: to do this add the lines below.to your wp.config.php file.
define( ‘WPMS_ON’ , true );
define( ‘WPMS_SMTP_PASS’ , your_password’ )
