How do I set up outMail with MailList Controller bulk emailer?
Solution
Follow the guide below to configure the MailList Controller bulk emailer windows application to send emails using the outMail service.
It is assumed you have already downloaded MailList Controller and installed the application. Your windows PC will also need access to the Internet in order to send emails.
In this example it is also assumed you have set up your first Mailing List.
Run the application and select the Mailing List button in the ribbon bar.
Right click on the desired list and in the popup menu select "List Settings".
Another window will appear.
Select the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) 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)
Uncheck the box Same User and Password as for Incoming Mail because we need to enter seperate credentials for outMail.
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 Limit Outgoing Mail
Click OK to finish.
