WP SMTP is a simple Composer package for handling WordPress SMTP with `.env`. No admin menus or [other bloat](https://blog.sucuri.net/2019/03/0day-vulnerability-in-easy-wp-smtp-affects-thousands-of-sites.html). Just a simple admin notice to verify your connection when needed and the ability to do a simple task WordPress should probably be handling natively.
