Open Source CMS

Professional message delivery from your server

Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress, Joomla!, or PrestaShop offer extensive configuration freedom but often face challenges with email delivery. By default, these systems use web server functions like PHP Mail. This method fails to provide the reputation or security standards required by modern mailbox providers like Gmail, WP, or Onet.

Connecting the MessageFlow SMTP server to your CMS is the simplest way to bypass the limitations of shared hosting.

Why replace default delivery with MessageFlow?

  • Bypass the SPAM folder: Mailbox providers often treat messages sent directly from a website server (localhost) as suspicious. Routing them through an authorized MessageFlow SMTP server with correct SPF and DKIM records drastically increases their credibility.

  • Delivery speed: The infrastructure is optimized for the rapid delivery of transactional notifications such as order confirmations or password resets. This speed is essential for maintaining customer trust.

  • Full control: Use the MessageFlow dashboard to track the status of every message generated by your store or website. Confirm whether a customer received the email, opened it, or clicked a link.

How integration works

Most CMS systems allow you to configure an external SMTP server in two ways:

  • Natively: Configure the settings directly within the system (e.g., in Joomla! or PrestaShop).

  • Via Plugin: Install a free SMTP add-on (e.g., in WordPress / WooCommerce).

In both cases, simply enter the smtp.messageflow.com server details along with your login and password.
