الوصف
Mail Doctor replaces WordPress’ default wp_mail stack with authenticated SMTP or provider APIs plus the operational tooling fast-moving stores need. It is written for merchants, agencies, and reliability teams that want hard proof their receipts, fulfillment notices, and alerts land every time.
Feature Highlights
- Deliverability with guardrails – Route WooCommerce or all site email through your preferred SMTP/API provider, lock the From identity, and fail over gracefully when third-party endpoints go dark.
- One-click diagnostics – Send live tests with TLS/auth badges, latency metrics, DNS posture (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and actionable warnings the moment something drifts.
- Reliable retries & queue control – Automatic exponential backoff, manual retry orchestration, Action Scheduler integration, and a “run queue now” control for urgent flushes.
- Deep visibility – Searchable logs with
.emldownloads, header/body inspection, filterable status views, and CSV exports for audits. - Email template workflow – Version history, diff previews, modal device switcher, and send-test flows for the WooCommerce template editor.
- Automation surface – REST API endpoints and WP-CLI commands mirror UI actions so you can script smoke tests, tail logs, or trigger retries in CI/CD pipelines.
- Privacy-first options – Hash or redact recipients, tune retention windows, and honour GDPR requests through the bundled exporters/erasers.
- Operational alerts – Instant Slack/email failure alerts plus weekly digests summarising throughput, latency, retries, and queue health.
External Services
This plugin acts as a connector between your WordPress site and third-party email providers. When you configure an external service (SMTP or API), this plugin transmits email data to that provider for delivery.
Data Sent:
* Sender and Recipient names and email addresses.
* Email subject, body content (HTML/Text), and headers.
* Timestamps and potentially the originating IP address.
When Payload is Sent:
* Immediately whenever an email is triggered by WordPress, WooCommerce, or another plugin, if that specific provider is currently set as your active transport.
Purpose:
* To reliably deliver transactional emails to user inboxes using the provider’s infrastructure.

Privacy controls
Mail Doctor ships with built-in privacy tooling under Settings Logging & Privacy:
- Mask recipient emails: Hashes addresses before storing them in logs.
- Redact headers and bodies: Keeps metadata only so sensitive content is not persisted.
- Retention windows: Separate sliders for sent, failed, and payload data; shorten for stricter compliance.
- GDPR exporter/eraser: WordPress privacy tools are wired to export or anonymise recipient rows on request.
- Role-based access: Admin UI and AJAX endpoints are gated by
manage_woocommerce/manage_options.
Troubleshooting
- Red notices on the Status tab usually indicate DNS or authentication drift—re-run the onboarding checks and confirm credentials with your provider.
- If the queue stalls, visit Settings Retry & Queue and use Run queue now; check your cron runner or Action Scheduler if jobs remain pending.
- Use the
.emldownload from each log entry when escalating to your SMTP provider—they can analyse the exact payload and SMTP transcript. - For privacy incidents, toggle Privacy Mode and shorten retention while you investigate; the GDPR exporter/eraser handles customer requests.
Support & Packaging
- Requirements: WordPress 6.0+, WooCommerce (latest), PHP 8.1–8.3 with cURL/JSON; OpenSSL recommended for encrypted secret storage.

الأسئلة المتكررّة
-
Does this plugin send all emails over SMTP?
-
By default, only WooCommerce emails are routed through SMTP. You can toggle the scope to All wp_mail calls on the settings tab.
-
Which SMTP providers are supported?
-
Any provider offering SMTP access (SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, Postmark, Gmail with App Passwords, etc.). Use the appropriate host, port, encryption, username, and password supplied by your provider.
-
Will Mail Doctor work without WooCommerce?
-
Most features (SMTP override, logging, retries) work without WooCommerce. Woo-specific tools (previews, email toggles) require WooCommerce to be active.
-
Where are logs stored?
-
Email activity is stored in the custom database table
{prefix}maildoctor_log. Logs are automatically pruned based on the retention period set in the plugin settings (default 30 days). -
How do retries work?
-
Failed emails are marked with a retry schedule using exponential backoff. A cron worker (
maildoctor_retry_cron) runs every five minutes to process due entries. You can also trigger a manual retry from the Logs tab. -
How can I get help?
-
See the Documentation section for configuration guides and playbooks. If you are on a support contract, provide log IDs and the output of
wp maildoctor statuswhen you reach out so the team can assist quickly.
