Everything VuloMail does, on one page. Routing and failover, a delivery log you can actually read, SMS alerts, diagnostics, and security and privacy rules that are strict by default.
Routing & failover.
Choose a primary connection and, optionally, a backup. Every email your site sends through wp_mail() takes that route. If both fail, WordPress's own mailer can still try as a last resort.
Break things on purpose
1 attempt recorded on one row.
A log you can read.
One row per message, however many connections were tried. Each entry shows who it was for, which provider sent it, the plugin or theme that created it, and the reason a failure happened, in the provider's own words.

The dashboard puts failures first.
Email and SMS fail quietly. A customer won't tell you their receipt never came. The dashboard answers three questions at a glance: how much did my site send, did anything fail, and what is each channel sending through.

Connect Twilio, Vonage, Plivo or Clickatell and switch on the alerts you want: for you, about your site and store, or for your customers, about their orders.

Test it before a customer does.
Send a test email or SMS through live routing, the same path every other message takes, or through one named connection to check a backup you rarely use. Diagnostics then looks for the usual causes of email not arriving.

Security that assumes the worst.
Credentials are encrypted at rest, masked on screen and never sent back to the browser. Outbound requests are locked to HTTPS with no redirects, and error text is scrubbed before it reaches your log.
Privacy by default.
Message bodies can hold password-reset links and personal details, so they're not stored unless you ask. The log lives in your own database and never leaves your site.
An admin that stays out of the way.
One focused screen inside WordPress with Dashboard, Logs, Tools, SMS Alerts and Settings. Changes save themselves. A search box finds any tab, setting or section by name.
Make every message count.
Install VuloMail, connect the provider you already pay for, and send your first test in about five minutes.
