Configuring SMTP+ feature in your platform and MailUp
SMTP+ users will need to first configure SMTP+ in MailUp (see Configuring Server Access and users in MailUp) and then you use the SMTP+ credentials to configure the MailUp SMTP+ in your own application/email client.
Configuring server access and authorized users in MailUp:
Creating a separate list
Although it's technically not a requirement, we recommend that you create a new List in your MailUp account to be used for SMTP+. Messages, statistics, and other settings will be easier to manage that way.
Once you have created a new List, you can start configuring SMTP+ in the List settings area.
Managing users
The page Settings > List settings > SMTP+ > Settings displays the following information:
- data for SMTP+ configuration within your mail client: SMTP server address, port, and type of encryption
- the list of the users that have been created (enabled or not) for SMTP+ message sending
- button for adding a new SMTP+ user
...
- Edit: edit user settings (see below)
- Delete: delete a user enabled to SMTP+ message sending
- Add new user: create a new SMTP user through a menu that closely resembles the Edit menu
...
Adding and editing SMTP+ users
What's on the add/edit user window
When you add or edit an SMTP+ user, you will see the window displayed below. In the top part of the window, you will find the credentials (user name and password) that you will enter in your email program as the outgoing mail server authentication credentials.
Below the credentials is the outgoing mail server address, and the port to be used, which are also needed to configure your email client.
Within your email client, you can configure
...
port 25 and all the ports from 1025 to 5000. On all the ports, you can have as an option the encryption through STARTTLS extension.

About creating and editing a SMTP+ user
You can also modify some parameters related to each SMTP+ user
Verify your SMTP+ sender credentials
You will be asked to verify new email addresses and domains used for sending via SMTP+, MailUp's SMTP relay service. This is an email security improvement focused on limiting phishing attacks and unlawful use of your company's sending domain. Existing accounts have been automatically verified.
Where to find it: when adding a new account under Settings > List settings > SMTP+, you will be asked to verify new senders
