Developers, it's Friday
Time for email debugging group therapy😅
What's your worst email bug?
We'll start:
• Works locally, fails in prod
• Password resets disappear
• Everything lands in spam
• DNS looks right (it isn't)
• “Delivered” but nowhere to be found
Your turn👇
WordPress: “Email sent successfully.” ✅
Your customer: “I didn't get anything.” ❌
Both can be true.
“Sent” doesn't always mean “delivered.”
When debugging WordPress email, don't stop at:
Did WordPress send it?
Ask:
What happened after WordPress sent it?
Your email API returned 200 OK
So the email reached the user's inbox
Right?
Not necessarily👀
API accepted request ≠ inbox delivery
There's still:
→ Processing
→ Recipient mail server
→ Delivery/bounce
→ Spam filtering
→ Inbox placement
Don't stop monitoring at send.
Still using SMTP in Laravel?
This tutorial shows how to send Laravel emails with the SendLayer API, improve deliverability, and move email sending to queues for a faster user experience.
SMTP vs API: which are you using right now?
