Jawad Zafar Estimates settings

Sender

Used for proposals and notifications sent by this plugin. Client replies go to your company email (Settings → General).

From name

From email

Use an address on your own domain. Many servers reject or spam-filter mail "from" a Gmail or Outlook address they do not own. Leave empty to use the WordPress default.

SMTP

Send through a real mail server for reliable delivery. Without SMTP, WordPress uses the web server's mail function, which often lands in spam or is blocked.

Use SMTP Send emails through the SMTP server below

Inbox check

Proposals reach the inbox when your domain proves the email is really from you. Fix anything marked ✖ or ! below; DNS changes can take up to an hour to show here.

From address is the WordPress default (wordpress@demo.jawadzafar.dev) Set a real address on your domain in "From email" below, e.g. proposals@ or hello@, and make sure the mailbox exists so replies and bounces arrive.
Sending with the web server's mail function This is the most common reason proposals land in spam: mail from a shared hosting server usually is not signed (DKIM) for your domain. Turn on SMTP below and use your domain's mailbox (Google Workspace, Zoho, your host's email) or a sending service (Brevo has a free plan).
