Mailgun is a developer-friendly email provider that integrates seamlessly with Mailster for campaign sending. To get started, sign up, add your domain, and configure DNS entries. Download the Mailgun add-on for Mailster, enter your API key, and choose between the WEB API or SMTP for sending.
To manage bounces more effectively with Amazon SES in Mailster, switch to Amazon SNS for enhanced control. Set up SNS notifications by creating topics for bounce and complaint feedback. After configuring subscriptions, your Mailster installation will automatically track bounces and complaints from subsequent campaigns.
Integrate SendGrid with Mailster by signing up, creating an API key with specific permissions, and authenticating your sender. Choose between Domain Authentication or Single Sender Verification. Finally, test your setup by sending a test message through Mailster to ensure everything functions correctly.
Using GoDaddy’s email servers is possible but comes with restrictions. Limit your SMTP sends to 500 emails per account, ensure your from and reply-to addresses match your domain, and configure settings with the specified server details. Be mindful of additional limitations that may apply.
Mailjet is an efficient email marketing tool that integrates with Mailster, offering robust bounce handling support. To get started, create an account, verify your domain, configure SPF/DKIM for spam protection, set up webhooks for bounce management, and send a test email to ensure everything works smoothly.
Gmail is a popular email provider, but it’s not ideal for marketing due to strict limits and potential spam issues. For effective newsletter campaigns with Mailster, consider alternatives. Integrate Gmail through the Mailster plugin by setting up a Google web app and OAuth credentials to ensure smooth delivery.
To effectively send newsletters, use a dedicated email service like Amazon SES. Install the Mailster plugin, set up your AWS account, verify your domain, and create an identity. Enable DKIM for better deliverability, update your DNS settings, and configure IAM users for secure access.
To automatically manage bounces in Mailster using SendGrid, install the SendGrid Integration plugin. Choose SendGrid on the delivery tab to mark future bounces automatically. For Mailster, request SendGrid Support to enable the “preserve headers” option; otherwise, it will overwrite your return-path. Note that the WEB API is incompatible with Mailster’s bounce handling.
SparkPost is a reliable email delivery service that requires setup, including domain verification and API key creation. While it no longer offers a free tier, a “Test Account” can be used for evaluation. Users must configure DNS settings and integrate with Mailster to start sending emails effectively.
