SureMail – SMTP and Email Logs Plugin with Amazon SES, Postmark, and Other Providers
Security History
What It Does
SureMail configures WordPress to send outgoing email through third-party SMTP providers such as Amazon SES, Postmark, Gmail, Outlook, and generic SMTP servers. It also logs all sent emails so administrators can confirm delivery, retry failures, and audit which messages the site is sending.
Who It's For
This plugin fits site owners, small business operators, and WooCommerce store runners who need reliable transactional email delivery without diving into raw SMTP or PHPMailer code. It is well suited to anyone running on PHP 7.4 or higher who wants a modern interface with built-in logging.
Who Should Skip It
Anyone on a host where mail already delivers reliably, or any developer comfortable configuring wp-config.php SMTP constants, does not need this plugin. Solo bloggers sending only a handful of contact-form emails a week can usually skip it without consequence.
The Bottom Line
SureMail scores 85.64 out of 100 and is a capable, well-maintained SMTP and email logging plugin with strong provider support. The unresolved support threads and modest install count mean risk-averse users should weigh it against WP Mail SMTP, but most sites on PHP 7.4+ will find it a solid choice.
Related Plugins
Pick this instead if you want the largest install base, the most third-party integrations, and a long track record of resolving support tickets.
Choose FluentSMTP when you want a free plugin with similar SES, SendGrid, and Postmark support plus a larger community of 600,000 installs.
Go with Post SMTP if you need a mobile app, fallback SMTP failover, and stronger alerting around failed deliveries.
This is not a direct rival but is worth considering if your priority is Mailchimp newsletter signups rather than transactional SMTP delivery.
Easy WP SMTP is the right pick if you prefer a simpler, older interface and a 500,000-install track record over newer features.
