Simplifies local development by configuring WordPress to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail() function

== Description ==

The [Simple SMTP Mailer](https://kibb.in/ssmtp) plugin allows you to easily configure WordPress to use SMTP instead of the PHP mail function.

**This should only really be used in a development environment.**

=== Simple SMTP Mailer Settings ===

* **Host**: The mail server (Defaults to smtp.gmail.com)
* **Username**: The username used for connecting to the SMTP server
* **Password**: The password used for connecting to the SMTP server
* **Port**: The port to use when sending an email (587, 465 or 25. Defaults to 587)
* **Security**: The type of encryption security to use when sending an email (TLS or SSL. Defaults to TLS)
* **Debug**: Enable debugging

All settings can be overridden by assigning array values to the SSMTP_MAILER constant in wp-config.php. This is useful for automating local deployment.

	define(
		'SSMTP_MAILER',
		array(
			'host' => emailhost.com,
			'username' => username,
			'password' => password,
			'port' => 25,
			'security' => 'SSL'
		)
	);
