Support us ---------- [](#support-us) Roots is an independent open source org, supported only by developers like you. Your sponsorship funds [WP Packages](https://wp-packages.org/) and the entire Roots ecosystem, and keeps them independent. Support us by purchasing [Radicle](https://roots.io/radicle/) or [sponsoring us on GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/roots) — sponsors get access to our private Discord. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [PHP](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/install.php) >= 8.3 - [Acorn](https://github.com/roots/acorn) >= 6.0 Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via Composer: ``` $ composer require roots/acorn-mail ``` Getting Started --------------- [](#getting-started) Start by optionally publishing Acorn's mail config: ``` $ wp acorn mail:config ``` SMTP credentials can be found in the published `mail.php` config file and default to environment variables. Usage ----- [](#usage) For most configurations, you can simply set the following variables in your environment: ``` MAIL_HOST= MAIL_PORT= MAIL_USERNAME= MAIL_PASSWORD= MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS= MAIL_FROM_NAME= ``` If you need to change the default scheme from `tls`, you can set the scheme variable: ``` MAIL_SCHEME=ssl ``` Once the credentials are properly configured, you can send a test email using Acorn's CLI: ``` $ wp acorn mail:test [--to=] [--subject=] [--body=] ``` You can customize the test email subject and body: ``` # Test with custom subject and body $ wp acorn mail:test --subject="Deploy Test" --body="Deployment successful" # Test with custom recipient $ wp acorn mail:test --to=admin@example.com ``` If any errors are detected, they will be printed to console.
