## Description

Error Mailer is intended to help in a production environment where errors are
 typically
switched off. An email is sent to nominated recipients in the event of a php error.
The error is then passed back to the current error handler.

Exclude list filter is also applied to prevent over-spamming of known errors.

Please note that this is a real-time error alert system. It does not wait to read
the
 log, and therefore consumes resources.

## Installation

Standard WordPress plugin installation.
 Minimum PHP version is v5.4 Depends on 
wp_mail
