avanan is not truly api based for outbound mail

I very well could be chasing ghosts, but I can confirm sending from Postmark, SES, or SMTP2GO to a client who uses Avanan generates a DMARC failure report. Hypothetically, if I sent to a non-client who used Avanan, I would receive the same DMARC failure report, and I have no control over their…

smtp2go problems with microsoft

…Are you getting these errors for existing devices randomly or is it only when you set up a new device to work with smtp2go? I have a theory that smtp2go sends emails from new devices through low reputation IPs in case they are spam or something, even if the SMTP user isn't…

anyone else seeing m365 smtp relay ip connector

…IP range. longer term, moving to authenticated SMTP submission or an external relay like you're already planning with SMTP2GO is probably the right call. microsoft has been slowly making unauthenticated relay harder to use for a while now, and i wouldn't be surprised if this is another step in…

serverless unauthenticated smtp from internal

It's cheap, but it hasn't been easy. Maybe we aren't the norm, but we are moving our SMTP to smtp2go before our on-prem Exchange migration. We find found smtp auth to be broken on legacy stuff. Hopefully vendors will help with that. Stumped on Xerox copiers. They will send test messages, then scans…

…works properly when From is on your domain. that's the right answer for any production scan-to-email. on free gmail, smtp2go or mailgun is a cleaner fit than gmail itself. file transfer settings on the ricoh are for SMB/FTP scan destinations, separate from scan-to-email. ignore them unless you…

why is it important to warm up a mailbox domain

…is to skip running your own cold IP/domain and use a reputable external SMTP provider instead (like Mailtrap, SMTP2Go, or Postmark). These services already have warmed-up IP pools and solid deliverability, so you avoid the nightmare of blacklisting while still being able to send volume…

alternatives to smtp2go that have native options

It's pushed so hard because it's one of the cheaper options that just simply works. But a simple Google search for SMTP relay service will get you plenty of other options and opinions to meet your requirements, and to reinforce why smtp2go is constantly recommended.

email delivery after smtp basic auth ends in late

SMTP2GO is the easy solution, if sending off mail/scans to a 3rd party service is a no go, then something like PostFix with the oAuth2 setup will work. https://github.com/tarickb/sasl-xoauth2

o365 smtp relay no longer working

…and many have given us issues over the years (goddamn mailgun). Some have minimums for account size or message amount. SMTP2GO just seems to have been one that people like and it caught on, like any other fad or preferred vendor. But again, i only answered why people weren't using HVE, not "why is…

selfhosting email in 2026 is effectively

email delivery after smtp basic auth ends in late

SMTP2GO will solve your issues. We switched to them and have all our printers, mailers and other devices on them. It’s great. Super easy to set up and you get full on dashboard where you can see all of the emails being sent out and if there’s any bounce backs, etc. they also take a proactive…

smtp relay service to send email to external

The mail isn't sent from our 365 tenant, it comes from an external partner application. I am going to enquire about the possibility of an authenticated mailbox with them, but if that's not possible I am interested in SMTP relay recommendations/experience with SMTP2Go.

o365 smtp relay no longer working

…use hve. Also, hve is very recent, like just out of preview. This has been something msps have solved with things like smtp2go for free or cheap for years now. Thats why people are recommending smtp2go, which scales from a 2 person tenant to 2000. I dont know why people are confused how people…

sending smtp alerts using basic authentication hve

I started using SMTP2GO for my clients for their aio printers/scanners, as using a Microsoft 365 Exchange account directly was getting such a problem since basic authentication has been disabled. Works great, and is super easy to set up.

simple msp friendly smtp service

we’ve used Brevo SMTP for clients who just need reliable scan‑to-email or notification sends. The setup is simple: add DNS records, enable SMTP, and configure the device. It’s not purpose-built for MSPs like SMTP2GO’s subaccounts, but you can at least get separate credentials/logins

options for hosting email for my domain

Currently a pretty happy camper on FastMail with my own domains. For selfhosted I probably wouldn't bother with dealing with sending myself and use a SMTP relay (MXroute, SMTP2Go, Amazon SES, etc) if being certain emails will arrive is critical for you

whats the best service to send emails to users

I’ve recently changed my mind. While resend is really easy to use nodemailer with an smtp server like smtp2go is just as easy and not getting locked into another vendor

emails delayed after migrating to namecheap

Yahoo is throttling your emails because shared hosting IPs can get flagged. Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and use a dedicated SMTP service like SMTP2GO or SendGrid for reliable delivery, don’t rely on shared hosting for outgoing mail.
