Asked by Anna Mouraviova
Hey everyone!
I installed several websites on my droplet, then tried sending a test email from terminal, got a recommendation to install
apt-get install mailutils
After that, emails do come through to my gmail from root. However, my woocommerce is still unable to send emails. Where do I look for the problem?

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 Gmail’s SMTP settings. 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
Thank you! Back in may i solved the problem by uninstalling mailutils and installing a different application
Hi @moorka,
Great news! Woocommerce has a great document that describes this process:

Let us know if that gets you sorted out!
