- PHP 8.3 or higher
- Acorn 4.0 or higher

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```

Getting Started

```

MAIL_MAILER=
MAIL_HOST=
MAIL_PORT=

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Native

[](#native)

The `native` mailer uses the native PHP `mail` function to send emails.

```
MAIL_MAILER=native
```

### SMTP

[](#smtp)

The `smtp` mailer uses an SMTP server without authentification to send emails. For example, you can use MailHog to test emails locally.

```
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025
```

### SMTPS

[](#smtps)

The `smtps` mailer uses an SMTP server with authentification to send emails.

```
MAIL_MAILER=smtps
MAIL_HOST=smtp.example.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=123456ABCDEF
MAIL_PASSWORD=123456ABCDEF
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
```

Once the configuration is set up, you can send emails using the `wp-cli` command:

```
wp eval 'wp_mail("john_doe@example", "Test e-mail from " . home_url(), "This is a test");'
```
