Works as advertised

Great plugin

Great Plugin and it still works in 2023
by dylanscholtz·2 years ago
I had trouble integrating Mandrill manually, but this plugin was a fantastic find. Despite my initial concerns about its lack of recent updates and a small support team, I’m happy to report that it worked perfectly. I highly recommend this plugin for Mandrill setup—it’s easy to use and flawlessly effective.
Works like the old mandrill plugin

Thanks, can I help ?

Great that this plugin got a second life! It beats tons of other SMTP plugins trying to support mandrill. It needs a few updates to be fully PHP7.4 compatible and it would be great to have a few extra options (thing return_path_domain etc). On that note: I can help if that would in this great effort!?
