Hello!

I run wordpress on my droplet and vesta cp panel.

Thank you really much for your helping hand.

Yeah thank you, when I realized it is public and not private support ticket, I have changed the password and also wanted to check it is published or not, but I did not see.

Please close this topic. The problem is solved.

Thank you.

Hello all,

What I could suggest here is using an SMTP plugin for your WordPress site.

That way you will be able to specify an SMTP server with authentication which your emails would be going through. You could for example use SendGrid’s SMTP service. This would drastically increase the delivery rate of your emails as well compared to using plain PHP mail.

I’ve been using this plugin for a while now and it works very well: Easy WP SMTP.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
