  6. Fill in the following fields:
    • From Email - Enter the email you wish to send FROM
    • Force From Email - Check this box
    • From Name - Enter a name you'd like to appear as being sent FROM
    • Force From Name - Check this if you wish to force the FROM name
    • Mailer - Choose 'Other SMTP'
    • Return Path - Check this box
  7. Scroll down to the 'Other SMTP' section. Make sure to toggle the 'Authentication' button.
    • SMTP Host - mail.yourdomain.com
    • Encryption - Use None encryption
    • SMTP Port - 25
    • Username - Enter your Domain email address
    • Password - Enter your email address password
  8. Click the Save Settings button.

Your form will now send FROM the email you entered above.

The plugin mentions that you should add the following lines to your wp-config.php file.

define( 'WPMS_ON', true );
define( 'WPMS_SMTP_PASS', 'your_password' );

Do not add these. Adding these will prevent the plugin from sending.

Testing the plugin

Scroll to the top and click the 'Email Test' tab. Click the Send Email button to test. You should see it was sent successfully.
