SPF/DKIM Authentcation

The configuration is comparable and necessitates re-entry of your DNS information.

Setting up webhooks to handle bounces in MailJet

To enable Mailster to manage bounces, spam complaints, and unsubscribed actions, the necessary step is to configure webhooks within Mailjet.

Navigate to the Event notifications (webhooks) section and proceed to add a new Trigger for the following events:

  • Bounce
  • Spam
  • Blocked
  • Unsub

Make sure you use the same URL endpoint from above for every event type.

After conducting a test on any of the connections, the endpoint field in the settings will change to green.
