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.
Transient failures queue up to three attempts across seven days.
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.
