About DeliverScope

From the official readme · v1.0.5

Description

“Why didn’t I get your email?”

Sound familiar? WordPress email failures are silent killers:

  • Password resets never arrive → frustrated users
  • Order confirmations go missing → support tickets pile up
  • Contact form submissions vanish → lost leads and revenue

Most site owners don’t know their emails are failing until customers complain. By then, the damage is done.

DeliverScope gives you complete visibility into your WordPress email system.

Free Features

  • SMTP Configuration – Easy setup for Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, and any SMTP provider
  • Connection Tester – Verify your SMTP credentials work before saving
  • Test Emails – Send a real email to confirm end-to-end delivery
  • Email Logging – Track every email with timestamps, status, and latency

Pro Features

  • DNS Health Check – Instant SPF & DMARC analysis to improve deliverability
  • Scheduled Canary Tests – Automated emails every 5-60 minutes catch failures instantly
  • Instant Alerts – Get notified via Slack or custom webhook when emails fail
  • Blacklist Monitoring – Daily checks against 6 major DNSBLs (Spamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop, etc.)
  • Priority Support – Direct access to our team when you need help

Why DeliverScope?

vs. Default WordPress email: wp_mail() fails silently. No logs, no alerts, no way to know something’s wrong.

vs. Other SMTP plugins: Most plugins only configure SMTP. DeliverScope monitors it and alerts you to problems.

vs. External services: No complex setup or monthly fees. DeliverScope lives inside WordPress where your emails originate.

Works With Any Email Provider

  • Google Workspace / Gmail
  • Microsoft 365 / Outlook
  • SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark
  • Amazon SES
  • Any SMTP server

Installation

  1. Upload deliverscope to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via WordPress plugins screen
  2. Activate the plugin
  3. Go to DeliverScope → Settings and enter your SMTP details
  4. Click Test Connection to verify credentials
  5. Click Send Test to confirm delivery

That’s it! Your emails are now configured and testable.

Want automated monitoring? Upgrade to Pro for scheduled canary tests, instant alerts, and blacklist monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Is DeliverScope really free?

Yes! SMTP configuration, connection testing, and email logging are 100% free forever. No trial periods, no feature limitations on core functionality. Pro features like scheduled tests, alerts, and blacklist monitoring require an upgrade.

What do I get with Pro?

Complete automated monitoring: Scheduled Canary Tests – Automated emails every 5-60 minutes catch failures even at 3am Instant Alerts – Slack and webhook notifications the moment an email fails Blacklist Monitoring – Daily checks against major spam blacklists with alerts if listed DNS Health Check – SPF & DMARC analysis to optimize deliverability

Will this slow down my site?

No. DeliverScope only runs in the admin dashboard and during scheduled checks (Pro). Zero impact on your frontend performance.

Which SMTP providers are supported?

Any provider that supports standard SMTP authentication: Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES, and more.

How do canary tests work?

Pro users can schedule automated test emails every 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. If a canary email fails, you’re notified immediately via Slack or webhook so you can fix the issue before customers notice.

What blacklists do you check?

We check 6 major DNSBLs: Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda, SpamCop, SORBS, PSBL, and UCEPROTECT. Checks run daily and you’re alerted immediately if your IP is listed.
