Congratulations, you have now set up backup notifications.<\/p>\n

You can now set the option to have an email sent whenever a backup or restoration is completed by the Total Upkeep plugin. Check out the screenshot below to see an example of the email that is sent:<\/p>\n

Authorizing Total Upkeep Email Notifications<\/h2>\n
\n
$\"\"$ <\/a>The Total Upkeep plugin sends email notifications whenever a WordPress backup<\/a> completes or fails. By default, it uses phpMail with no authentication<\/strong> when delivering emails if SMTP is not configured<\/em>. Security practices for hosting servers often block unauthorized emails delivered with phpMail. To prevent this, it is recommended that you use SMTP authentication to make sure that your notifications are delivered.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\nEmail Format used by the Total Upkeep Notification<\/h3>\n
The Total Upkeep plugin uses the following format for its notification emails:<\/p>\n
`$headers = 'From: ' . $site_title . '<' . $admin_email . '>' . \"\\r\\n\" . 'X-Mailer: PHP\/' \r\n. phpversion() . \"\\r\\n\";\r\n\r\n$status = wp_mail( $admin_email, $subject, $body, $headers );`<\/pre>\n
The email notification does pass the admin email as the “From” address.<\/p>\n
Recommendations for Using SMTP Notification<\/h3>\n
Though the phpMail option for sending notifications does work, it unfortunately was made before security issues were as much of a concern as they are at this time. Most mail servers now require SMTP authentication in order for mail to be properly delivered. If you configure SMTP authentication on your WordPress site, then there is a much better chance that the email notifications will not be blocked. Here are a few plugins that you can apply to WordPress in order to use SMTP authentication:<\/p>\n

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms<\/a><\/li>\n

SMTP Mailer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You now have enough information to help prevent your Total Upkeep notifications from being blocked due to lack of authentication.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
