Feature Request – Add disclaimer to notice: disable SMTP plugins

    Hi and first-off thank you for this simple very useful (and free!) plugin!

    I have a small request which is to add to the notice you place in the WP admin that says “Emails Disabled: The Stop Emails plugin is currently active, which will prevent any emails from being sent. To send emails, disable the plugin.”

    In actuality, as your info page says: “If using the PHP mail() function directly, this plugin will NOT stop the emails.”

    For those users who installed the plugin from the WP Plugin ecosystem, this may not be absolutely clear. Also, this translates into the need to disable any SMTP plugins like WP Mail SMTP, which sends email via a third party like Mailgun or Mandril.

    Just a suggestion and thanks again for the great plugin.

    Cheers
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words.

    I think you bring up some good points and I’ve opened an issue about this on GitHub (where I track the development of this plugin).

    It seems there is a balance here between presenting enough information, keeping the message easily digestible for those users who don’t have email plugin experience, and keeping the message brief.

    I’ve started making some notes about how we might change the notice message in the GitHub issue.

    Do you have any thoughts about the message text?

    Thanks again for the feedback!

    – Sal
