Works as expected. Hoping you continue to make updates. I’d love to see a one-time support option for your work instead of a monthly Patreon contribution. If you set that up, let me know, and I’ll throw some money at you. Thanks!

I had long-term trouble with my WP installations not sending out emails at all. In the end, the problem was in the way WordPress generates the from address in wp_mail. This plugin helped me to sort it out. Big thanks to the author 🎉🎉
