The **ALL-IN-ONE** solution for high end email delivery - **10 times faster** than any WP mail SMTP plugin!

== Description ==
== Completely new approach for a WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin ==

As you might know, WordPress contains only marginal functions to send email. Without an extension, many emails simply end up in the recipient's spam folder. There are no standard SMTP settings or a Wordpress email configuration neither for WooCommerce. 

The usual way to get rid of this problem is to use one or more external SMTP servers via a wp mail SMTP plugin to send email from WordPress. Such SMTP services (like Mailchimp, Mailgun, SendGrid, SendInBlue and other) usually offer a small free contingent, but they also cost money on an ongoing basis.

= What distinguishes Campation PostOffice from other widely used WP SMTP mailer plugins? =
It has its proprietary sending technology (SpeedMail), which is 10 x faster than SMTP! It resolves all your email delivery problems by changing how your site sends email: Campation PostOffice intercepts the wp_mail() function used by all plugins to send mails and redirects it to its own SpeedMail function! Your data will not be sent to external servers, and all costs for SMTP service providers will not apply! Of course Campation PostOffice also can connect you to any SMTP server - but this is superfluous and antiquated.

In addition, Campation PostOffice comes with a lot of useful functions that you will not find in competing WP mail plugins:

* **Campation SpeedMail**: is a proprietary mail sending technology inside PostOffice - 10 times faster than SMTP
* **Campation SmartDNS**: complete DNS setup of sender domain (A, MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM etc.) with 'copy & paste'
* **Recipient address check**: All recipient addresses are checked for correct spelling and MX entry before they are used for the first time - this may reduce your bounce rate dramatically
* **Recipient database**: All contacted email addresses are appended to recipient database
* **Outgoing mail queue**: all emails are queued and processed in the background - see delivery / open / click status of any email
* **Dashboard**: charts, graphs, and stats show how your emails are flowing
* **Emergency switch**: switch off immediately all outgoing mail from anywhere in WordPress admin
* **Re-send an email**: any email can be re-sent from the outgoing queue
* **Open / Click measurement**: open / click events in an email and the time passed since sending are measured
* **24h statistical data**: Mails sent, opened, clicked, bounced, unsubscribed - compared to min/max target values set by you
* **Permanent blindcopy (BCC)**: send blind carbon copy of all transactional emails (e.g. invoices) to admin
* **Automatic cleanup of queue**: sent emails are purged from the queue after a defined period of days to keep your database small
* **Free content in email footer**: add any content to the footer of all emails
* **External SMPT server**: not required but 1 may be used e.g. as fallback mail server
* **Mail error report**: summary to admin of occurred errors
* **logs your emails** so you can check anytime and see your site health. 
* **integrated FAQ and support system**: solve all your questions and technical issues from inside the plugin admin
* **Setup Wizard**: makes settings easy for you to get Campation PostOffice up and running with configuration in just a few steps

Campation PostOffice is a next-generation WP Mail SMTP plugin, professionally created with latest software technologies like Bootstrap 5 and a fully AJAX driven user interface.

3. You will arrive in the setup wizard of WP Campation PostOffice™ that guides you through the configuration


== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Why Campation PostOffice™ is so much faster than all other WP SMTP plugins? =
Simply said: it does not have to connect and communicate with other servers! To send an email via an external SMTP server, your server must contact it. The two servers then start a dialog containing around 10 questions and answers ("Who is it?", "Who is the email going to?" etc.). This adds up to a time requirement of 700 - 1,200 milliseconds. Therefore, an SMTP mail plugin can only send roughly 1 email per second on average - while Campation PostOffice can send 10-20 emails per second depending on server performance.

= Will I need a SMPT server? =
No. Campation Post Office™ has its proprietary sending technology (SpeedMail™), which is 10 times faster than SMTP. Your data will not be sent to external servers, and all costs for external SMTP service providers will not apply! Nevertheless you may use SMTP servers.

= Will Campation PostOffice slow down my public website? =
Not at all! All emails from WordPress are stored in a queue (this takes a few milliseconds) and sent in the background - your website won't falter anymore! All recipient addresses are checked before use and permanently locked in the event of errors. 

= How difficult is the configuration? =
After activation you will be guided by an intuitive setup wizard. Thanks to our SmartDNS™ technology, you can configure your domain's DNS perfectly in no time at all - just like the big ones!
