FluentCRM uses the wp_mail() function to broadcast all the emails that is PHP-based mailer. There are various ways to deliver emails from WordPress. The SMTP Protocol, API-based 3rd party delivery providers, and direct PHP-based sending require SMTP Port 25 to be opened from the WordPress hosting server. Below is a screenshot of when no SMTP plugins are used on the website.
SMTP Plugins like FluentSMTP improves your WordPress mail by intercepting the wp_mail and then connecting with your email service providers to ensure deliverability. It allows sending emails directly via SMTP. API-based providers like Google Workplace, Office365, Sendgrid, AWS SES, etc. When you install the FluentSMTP plugin on your website and configure email delivery connections you will see them listed in the FluentCRM SMTP Dashboard like the below screenshot.

To configure Bounce Handlers for available services please check each relevant documentation:
Will there be an integration for bounce handling with Mailjet?
Hi Ben, Mailjet integration isn’t available yet. We may develop these SMTP connections in the future.
Hello, we presently use Mandrill and would welcome an integration to allow use to setup bounce handlers.
I believe we have very few Mandrill users at this moment. If there is enough request, we’ll be integrating with Mandrill. 🙂
How do I setup Bounce emails for FluentSMTP when I am not use one of the listed services for Bounce? I do not see a generic SMTP for Bounce. We are currently using TurboSMTP.
Hi Ivan, you can only setup bounce handlers for the SMTP providers we fully support. However, I’m taking this as a feature request so if we integrate with TurboSMTP, you will be able to handle bounce notifications.
I have SMTP on my site, do not need all those services, why there is no setup for that? it seems confusing that you have so beautiful product and when I get to this point, I get stuck.
Hi Ben, Not sure where you’re stuck. FluentCRM will only show your configured email senders and we recommend that you setup bounce handlers to avoid spamming.
how to remove bounce handler? Currently have amazon ses, not using though.
