Email Providers

Configure your email sending provider for optimal deliverability.

Paid Feature: Custom email provider configuration is available on paid plans.

Supported Providers

DailyDraft integrates with leading email delivery services:

Provider	Best For
Postmark	High deliverability, detailed analytics
SendGrid	Large volume sending, good free tier
Amazon SES	Cost-effective at scale
Mailgun	Developer-friendly, good for testing

Why Use a Custom Provider?

Using your own email provider gives you:

Better deliverability - Build your own sender reputation
More control - Configure bounce handling, feedback loops
Cost savings - Pay only for what you send
Custom domain - Send from your own domain

Setting Up Your Provider

Go to Settings → Email Provider
Select your provider from the dropdown
Enter your API credentials
Configure your sending domain
Click "Save & Verify"

Domain Authentication

For best deliverability, authenticate your sending domain:

Required DNS Records

Type	Purpose
SPF	Authorizes servers to send on your behalf
DKIM	Cryptographically signs your emails
DMARC	Tells receivers how to handle auth failures

Your provider will give you specific DNS records to add. See their documentation for details.

Testing Your Setup

After configuration:

Send a test email to yourself
Check email headers for DKIM/SPF pass
Verify "from" address shows your domain
Test delivery to Gmail, Outlook, and other providers

Default Provider

If you don't configure a custom provider, DailyDraft uses its shared sending infrastructure. This works well for getting started but may have lower deliverability for large lists.

Recommendation: Set up your own email provider once you reach 1,000+ subscribers for best deliverability.
