Wordpress and SMTP (localhost)

Helge Rossvoll

New Pleskian
As of 12.x of Plesk the 127.0.0.1 smtp whitelist is removed and doesn't seems possible to add edither, I guess from a "anti spam perspective" of stolen accounts or hacked webcode.

It's of course fully possible to download for example the SMTP configuration wordpress plugin and manually add SMTP host/user/pass, but if enduser doesn't have local mail only DNS+WEB for example your not going to get anywhere with that.

What is the correct approach to allow mail being sent from wordpress/joomla etc with default settings php/wordpress/joomla etc settings?
