Your site’s email, in the inbox.
Web servers’ own mail is often junked or never delivered. NetMailer sends every email from WordPress and your plugins (password resets, orders, form notifications) through a proper mail server instead, keeps a log of each one, and tries again if one fails.
Email that arrives, free.
Everything a small site needs to send reliable email, with no account with us. Nothing is sent anywhere except the mail server you choose.
Ready-made settings
20i, Gmail and Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Brevo, Mailgun and Amazon SES, or any other mail server.
Password kept safe
Your mail server password is stored encrypted, so a copy of the database alone can’t read it.
A proper sender
Sets a real From address and name, instead of wordpress@, and where bounce messages go.
Email log
Every email with its status and the server’s reason for any failure. Resend any of them with one click.
Automatic retries
Failed emails are tried again every hour, up to three tries in a day, with a warning in the dashboard.
Test email
Send a test and see the full conversation with the mail server, with passwords hidden.
Domain check
Checks your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, the ones Gmail and Outlook look at before trusting your email.
Hold all email
A testing mode that logs everything and sends nothing. Useful on a copy of a live site.
Never send faster than your provider allows.
Mail providers limit how much you can send: Microsoft 365 about 30 emails a minute, Gmail about 500 a day. Go over and they block you for a while, or junk your mail. NetMailer Pro is an add-on to the free plugin that adds a send queue, on the same screens.
- Sending limitsSet how many emails can go a minute, an hour and a day. Within them, email goes straight away.
- A queue, not a blockAnything over the limits waits in a queue and goes out as soon as it can. Nothing is lost.
- Site email firstPassword resets, orders and form notifications always go before newsletters, so a big mailing never holds them up.
- Retries for queued emailIf a queued email fails, it goes back in the queue and is tried again, up to three tries, ten minutes apart.
- The queue at a glanceWhat’s waiting, what’s been sent against each limit, and buttons to send the next batch or empty the queue.
- Newsletters through your own serverUse NetCampaigns with your own mail server for a small list, and stay within your provider’s limits.

Hear when there’s something new
An occasional email when NetMailer gets a new version or there’s a new Netchameleon plugin. Optional: the download doesn’t need it.
Good to know.
Why does my site need this?
Most web servers send email without proof that it really comes from your domain, so Gmail and Outlook often junk it or drop it. Sending through a proper mail server, the same one your mailbox uses, gets it to the inbox.
Which mail server should I use?
The one you already have: your 20i, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox works. For a busy shop or newsletters, a sending service such as Brevo, Mailgun or Amazon SES is better. NetMailer has the settings for all of them ready.
Is my mail server password safe?
It’s stored encrypted with a key made from your site’s own secret keys, so a copy of the database alone can’t read it. It’s only ever sent to your mail server.
Can I send newsletters with it?
For a small list, yes: NetCampaigns can send through NetMailer, and NetMailer Pro keeps you within your provider’s limits. For larger lists, NetCampaigns sending through Amazon SES or SendGrid is cheaper and handles bounces automatically.
Do I need the free plugin for Pro?
Yes. NetMailer Pro is an add-on: install free NetMailer first, then Pro adds its Send queue tab to the same screen.
Is the free version really free?
Yes. The free plugin has no visitor limits, no licence key and no account, and nothing in it will be taken away. Pro adds extras on top.
What happens when my Pro licence runs out?
Pro keeps working. Your licence key gives you one-click updates and support for a year; renew it when you want new versions.
Does it work with the other Net plugins?
Yes. Every Net plugin folds into one Netchameleon menu in your dashboard, and they share data where it helps: forms feed bookings, polls feed mailing lists, and NetCookies lists the cookies the others set.
