Send your WordPress email through Scroogle Send: tracker-free, zero-retention transactional delivery with SPF, DKIM and DMARC handled for you.

== Description ==

Scroogle Send routes your site's outgoing email (order confirmations, password resets, notifications) through Scroogle Mail's Swiss delivery infrastructure.

* **Zero retention.** Message bodies are discarded the moment delivery is confirmed. We cannot read your customers' email, and neither can anyone who asks us to.
* **No trackers.** No open pixels, no rewritten links, no engagement analytics. A delivery event is a timestamp and a status code, nothing more.
* **Deliverability done properly.** SPF, DKIM and DMARC are configured on our side for your verified domain, so your mail lands in inboxes rather than spam folders.
* **Safe by design.** Until you connect a valid API key and switch routing on, the plugin does not touch wp_mail() at all. Your site keeps sending email exactly as it did before activation.

You will need a Scroogle Send API key from the Business Console in your Scroogle Mail account.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `scroogle-send` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
3. Go to Settings > Scroogle Send.
4. Paste your API key from the Scroogle Mail Business Console and click Verify API key.
5. Set your From name and From email, tick Enable Scroogle Send routing, and save.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will activating this break my email? =

No. The plugin is dormant until a valid API key has been verified and routing has been switched on. Until both are true, WordPress sends email exactly as it did before the plugin existed.

= What happens if the Scroogle Send API is unreachable? =

The plugin fails safe: if a routed message cannot be confirmed as delivered by the API, it is handed straight back to WordPress' normal delivery. An outage on our side can never eat your site's email.

= Do you store my email? =

No. Scroogle Send is zero-retention: message bodies are discarded the moment delivery is confirmed. Delivery events consist of a timestamp and a status code.

= Where do I get an API key? =

From the Business Console in your Scroogle Mail account at scrooglemail.com. Send keys start with `sm_send_`.

= Does this replace my SMTP plugin? =

Once connected, yes: mail is routed through the Scroogle Send API rather than SMTP. Until connected, whatever you use today keeps working untouched.
