It provides email statistics, weekly and monthly reports, source-based diagnostics, search and filtering, CSV export, and configurable retention. Email body, headers, attachment paths, and request IP addresses can be logged when their individual settings are enabled. Email bodies and headers are optional, and IP logging is optional. MailSentra stores logged data in the site database and does not send it to an external service. A “Sent” status means WordPress or PHPMailer reported a successful send operation. It does not confirm final inbox delivery or rule out a later bounce. ### Features * Logs wp_mail() send attempts. * Records sent/failed result from WordPress mail hooks. * Dashboard statistics. * Seven-day activity chart. * Search and status filtering. * Detailed individual log view. * CSV export. * Configurable body/header/attachment logging. * Configurable retention period. * Optional database cleanup on uninstall. ### Important A “Sent” status means WordPress/PHPMailer reported a successful send operation. It does not prove final inbox delivery. Actual delivery/bounce tracking requires provider-level support. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to MailSentra > Settings. 4. Configure logging options. ## FAQ ### Does a Sent status confirm inbox delivery? No. It means WordPress and PHPMailer reported a successful send operation. It does not confirm final delivery or rule out a later bounce. ### What does Pending mean? The email attempt was logged, but MailSentra has not recorded a sent or failed result yet. This can happen while sending or if the result hook does not run. ### Where are email logs stored? Logs are stored in this site’s WordPress database. MailSentra does not send logged data to an external service. Configure the logged fields and retention period in MailSentra > Settings. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MailSentra: Email Logging & Diagnostics” is open source software.
