SMTP Configuration

Almost all third party SMTP clients, Servers, CMSs, and Plugins will use these settings to connect and relay mail through your VMA Emailer Account. We don't know of any software that supports SMTP connections that do not work with VMA Emailer, but there is a list of CMSs and Plugins that are designed to work specifically with VMA Emailer.

Username Your VMA Emailer Account SMTP Username is the same as your VMA Emailer Account email address that you use to log in. However, you can also use your VMA Emailer API Key as the Username. If you are using cram-md5 authentication you must supply the Email Address for the Username and your VMA Emailer API Key for the Password.

Password Your SMTP Password is your API Key.

Server You can either use smtp.elasticemail.com or smtp25.elasticemail.com

Port We support the following connection ports:

25, 2525, 587, 465

We support TLS and SSL connections. Make sure the connection port you are using is open on your own server.
