Description

Stop your WordPress emails from going to spam. Mailly is a professional WordPress SMTP plugin designed to ensure 100% reliable email delivery. By replacing the default PHP mail with secure API integrations or standard SMTP, Mailly connects your site to top-tier services like Gmail, Outlook, Amazon SES, and SendGrid. Whether you’re running a small blog or a high-traffic WooCommerce store, Mailly offers enterprise-level features to optimize your transactional emails. Benefit from real-time Email Tracking (Opens/Clicks), Smart Routing for multiple mailers, Automatic Failover (Backup Connections), and a Detailed Email Log to keep your business communications running perfectly.
