== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can this plugin be used to send emails via SMTP? =

Yes.

= Can this plugin be used to send emails to my Users? =

Yes.

= Can this plugin be used to send emails to my Commenters? =

Yes.

= My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function =

If other plugins you're using are not coded to use the wp_mail() function but instead call PHP's mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the `mail(` calls with `wp_mail(` (just adding wp_ in front) and this will work. I've tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.

= Can I use this plugin to send email via Gmail / Google Apps =

Yes.
