Question: I want to get notification through email when a visitor sends an enquiry through my Wordpress site's contact form. What should I do?

Answer: By default, Wordpress uses PHP mail function to send emails generated by Wordpress or form plug-ins like Ninja Forms and WPForms. However, Wordpress does not provide setting for SMTP authentication, which most email hosting services require to relay an email from third party systems. We suggest to install the WP Mail SMTP plug-in where you can set up SMTP configuration to deliver emails from Wordpress system.

Before we begin, please make sure that you have already created a user account (e.g. formtomail@yourdomain.com) which will be used for SMTP authentication purpose. Please refer to How to create a new user account for more information (note that you must log in as the Avomaster or voadmin to create a user).
