WP Mail SMTP by WPForms gets everything in order and makes sure emails are directed to a trusted, reliable mailing service such as Amazon SES (Simple Email Service).

With this combination, emails are sure to end up in your recipient’s inbox, not in spam or trash folders. This should increase your engagement and conversion rates really. Just think about it, you canโ€™t take any action from an email you never received.
