Nexora Mail

Transport, logs, tests, and migration — built where deliverability is a political problem, not a checkbox.

  • Dedicated transport
  • Logs & test send

Works alone

What it is

Built for a job, not a feature list.

Nexora Mail is a PHPMailer transport for hosts and networks that punish generic SMTP plugins: sealed passwords, a success/fail log, a retry queue, a health cron that checks reachability without AUTH, and a one-click import that deactivates WP Mail SMTP so the two never fight.

Results

What changes on the site.

wp_mail that leaves

Authenticated SMTP instead of the host’s naked sendmail.

Retries, not silence

Transient failures queue up to three attempts across seven days.

Secrets sealed

SMTP passwords are libsodium-sealed in options, not plaintext.

Capabilities

What the package actually does.

  • PHPMailer SMTP at high priority: host, port, timeout, TLS/SSL, UTF-8
  • libsodium-sealed SMTP secret; legacy encodings re-sealed on save
  • Success/fail log + retry queue (3 attempts, 7-day TTL, 64 KB body cap)
  • Test send with SMTP debug buffer
  • Import from WP Mail SMTP and deactivate it (conflict notice if both live)
  • Twice-daily health: SMTP reachability + DNS deliverability without AUTH

Versus

Against the category leaders.

Honest deltas — not a fake scorecard. If a rival is better at a narrow job, the row says so.

Leader Where NexoraPlug differs
WP Mail SMTP This is the in-house replacement: import, then deactivate WPMS so PHPMailer has one owner.
FluentSMTP Fluent is fine on SendGrid. Mail is tuned for Iranian/local SMTP: timeout, no SaaS requirement, sodium seal.
Post SMTP Post logs and retries. Mail refuses to coexist with WPMS and keeps credentials sealed.

Seat

The zip is not on the internet.

Packages live in a vault outside the web root. A key is HMAC-bound to your hostname. Verify and download are rate-limited. Updates stop when the seat is cold. We do not remote-wipe content you already have — PHP that WordPress requires to be GPL can be copied; stolen copies simply do not get the next build.
