| SendGrid | API | High-volume sending with deliverability tracking |
| SMTP2GO | API | Reliable delivery with detailed analytics |
| Mailgun | API | Developers needing flexible API options (EU/US regions) |
| Postmark | API | Transactional emails with fast delivery |
| Brevo (Sendinblue) | API | Marketing and transactional in one platform |
| Amazon SES | API | Cost-effective for AWS users |
| Custom SMTP | SMTP | Your own mail server or other SMTP providers |
| Mailpit | SMTP | Local development and testing only |
Setting up a provider
- Go to Settings → Email (WordPress) or Options → Email (Joomla).
- Select your provider from the dropdown.
- Enter your API key or SMTP credentials.
- Send a test email to verify the connection.
TIP
API providers (SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.) are more reliable than server mail for production sites. They offer better deliverability and detailed sending reports.
