How do I set up outMail on e-Campaign bulk emailer?
Solution
Follow the guide below to configure the e-Campaign bulk emailer windows application to send emails using the outMail service.
It is assumed you have already downloaded e-Campaign and installed the application. Your windows PC will also need access to the Internet in order to send emails.
Run the application and select the Tools menu followed by the menu option "Eamil Accounts".
The Email Account Manager window will appear. From here you can either add a New account or Modify an existing account.
The Account Properties window will appear.
Ensure you have a valid name in the Account Name field. In this example we will simply put outMail SMTP.
Complete the form under the Sender Information tab and then select the Delivery Settings tab.
In the SMTP Server field change the SMTP server to mxXXXXXX.smtp-engine.com (Your assigned outMail server will be in your welcome email and also the management portal)Check the box This SMTP Server Requires Authentication
Enter the username and password you were provided for outMail and click OK.Please refer to your welcome information on encryption levels and available SMTP ports.
Please see the outmail KB article on rate limits for fine tuning the Optional Settings
Click OK to finish.
