### SMTP compatibility

Arrow Mail Log works with SMTP plugins that continue to use the standard WordPress`
wp_mail()` system. This includes the normal WordPress mail flow where an SMTP plugin
configures PHPMailer to deliver messages through an SMTP server.

If another plugin or service bypasses `wp_mail()` completely and sends mail directly
through its own external API or mail transport, Arrow Mail Log may not be able to
record that message.

A **Sent** status means WordPress/PHPMailer successfully handed the message off 
for sending. It does not guarantee final delivery to the recipient’s inbox; a message
can still be rejected downstream, bounce, or be classified as spam.
