You know that AMS software has a built-in SMTP server, but it’s not a good idea to send an email directly to the client’s mailbox; be ready that some of email messages can become undelivered. Therefore, it is recommended to configure an external SMTP.
Whatever you choose – SMTP server from your hosting provider or from a free email provider – our Atomic Mail Sender will support it anyway. Don’t forget to set up SMTP rotation for external servers. This help you to overcome a limitation if a website mailing ban exists.
