I’d like to announce the first official release of the Configure SMTP plugin (v2.0) for WordPress.

The plugin’s official homepage is located at :
http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/configure-smtp.

This plugin is the spiritual successor to my wpPHPMailer plugin. While the general premise of both plugins are identical — allowing for the use and configuration of SMTP mailing in WordPress — the internals are different enough that I felt a new plugin was warranted. wpPHPMailer made the PHPMailer library available to WordPress. But since WordPress integrated the PHPMailer package into its core, a large portion of the plugin became obviated. When considering the removal of that burden from the plugin, a complete rewrite of the code, and the now-outdated (and not especially clear) naming of wpPHPMailer, Configure SMTP was born.

The wpPHPMailer plugin has been officially deprecated and is no longer being developed or supported. Fear not, for the essence of the plugin continues on in my Configure SMTP plugin.

The Top/Recent Commenters plugin has been officially deprecated and is no longer being developed or supported. The plugin had actually been deprecated some time ago, but since it was still available for download, and it largely continued to work despite updates to WordPress, there have been a surprising number of people who continued (or newly) used it.

I debated whether or not to update and reactivate the plugin, but ultimately decided the extra overhead of keeping it alive wasn’t worth it when Customizable Comment Listings does everything Top/Recent commenters did, plus tons more, and it’s just as easy (or easier) to use.

So, if Top/Recent Commenters was a plugin you used, or one that sounded like it would interest you, I’d advise you to use my far superior Customizable Comment Listings plugin.
