00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:05.537
This guide checks WordPress mail in
Revolutionary SMTP without delivering a

2
00:00:05.537 --> 00:00:11.248
real message. The recording demo enforces
test mode and blocks external requests.

3
00:00:11.248 --> 00:00:15.125
All addresses and message text used here
are fictional.

4
00:00:16.917 --> 00:00:22.783
Open Revolutionary Plugins, choose SMTP,
then Settings. Find Test mode and confirm

5
00:00:22.783 --> 00:00:28.363
that it is enabled. In this mode the
plugin skips the delivery transport while

6
00:00:28.363 --> 00:00:31.367
recording the test outcome for inspection.

7
00:00:33.441 --> 00:00:38.922
This exercise does not need an SMTP
password, API key or provider sign-in.

8
00:00:38.922 --> 00:00:45.219
Leave transport credentials empty. A test-
mode success verifies this local path, and

9
00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:49.441
does not establish that a real provider
can deliver mail.

10
00:00:51.248 --> 00:00:57.154
Open Tools and the Send test screen. Use
demo-recipient at example dot com as the

11
00:00:57.154 --> 00:01:03.279
recipient. Never use a real recipient for
an isolated demonstration or assume that a

12
00:01:03.279 --> 00:01:06.123
test-looking subject prevents delivery.

13
00:01:07.902 --> 00:01:12.925
The test tool supplies its own fixed
subject and message. Leave Send with on

14
00:01:12.925 --> 00:01:18.411
the current configuration and leave debug
capture off. Test mode will intercept the

15
00:01:18.411 --> 00:01:21.452
request before any delivery transport is
used.

16
00:01:24.051 --> 00:01:29.400
Send the test and wait for the result.
With test mode enabled, the plugin short-

17
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.414
circuits the actual send. Read the
displayed result and any diagnostic text

18
00:01:34.414 --> 00:01:38.626
rather than interpreting the button click
as proof of delivery.

19
00:01:40.444 --> 00:01:46.052
Open the mail log and locate the sample
message. Look for the fixed Revolutionary

20
00:01:46.052 --> 00:01:51.176
SMTP test subject, then compare its
fictional recipient and timestamp with

21
00:01:51.176 --> 00:01:56.577
this test. The log records the simulated
test outcome, and no real mailbox was

22
00:01:56.577 --> 00:01:57.269
contacted.

23
00:01:59.078 --> 00:02:04.510
For your own installation, configure the
approved transport separately and verify

24
00:02:04.510 --> 00:02:09.674
it with an authorized recipient before
enabling live mail. This demonstration

25
00:02:09.674 --> 00:02:14.703
leaves test mode enabled and does not
configure or contact a real provider.
