OK...got Post smtp set up. Sent a test email to myself from my website contact form, received it, and then checked the Post smtp log. The email was listed, so I guess I set it up properly. I'll monitor....
EDIT: Well, as luck would have it, I just registered two Test Accounts for the forum using two gmail addresses. This time both received the confirmation/password emails...when, earlier today when trying to use those same gmail addreeses to make Test registrations, the confirmation email never arrived!
Untested but it doesn't matter. You will test things and remove it.
But for setup, sorry i can't possibly assist you on this. The plugin even has a wizard.
Also there are simpler smtp plugins with logs. Search and try some other, if this seems complicated and unsuitable for you.
We are crossing over each other when posting.
Read this from two posts above:
