Mass Mailing News configuration - Sending methods and SMTP servers

Set a proxy server in the bulk email software. In Mass Mailing News we recommend you to use your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) SMTP server. You may however use any SMTP server you have access to. (Most people find it useful to use the same settings in their Email client if possible). If possible, copy your settings from your existing E-mail client program (such as Outlook).

To add the proxy server address in Mass Mailing News, you need to:

1.From the “Send” menu, click “Sending Methods” and then on the “Sending methods” tab.

2.Click on the “SMTP Server…” button. The “SMTP Servers” dialog box will be displayed.

3.Click on the “Add” button.

4.Click on the “Proxy Management and Quota” tab

5.Check “Use Proxy Server” box.

6.Enter your proxy server address.

7.Proxy port: enter a value.

8.Add your user name and password.

9.Check “Use SSL (Secured connection)” box. If applicable, choose your security protocol.

If your Internet provider limits your outgoing messages, you can then activate the quota controller. You must respect the limitations of your SMTP server address. For example - if your daily quota is 100 emails then, enter this value in the 'Proxy and Quota Management' table. To know your limit/ quota, please contact your ISP or your hosting company.

1.Click ''Proxy and Quota Management'' table

2.Enable the controller by clicking the check box 'Active Quota Controller'

3.Select the quota type: daily or monthly

4.Enter the quota: 100

Your message is not delivered:

1) Double check the settings & the email addresses.

2) Verify that you don't have a firewall that blocks outgoing messages.

3) Be patient. Usually the message delivery is instant, but we've seen where the ISP has delayed the delivery of a message for hours.

4) Also check to make sure your computer has not been flagged as a SPAMMER. Check if your mail server has been blacklisted. How? Make some searches online to find companies that offer this service (search with keyword like this “mail server has been blacklisted”.
