Provider comparison


Add an account

SMTP

  1. Accounts → Add account → SMTP
  2. Enter a friendly name, host, port, username, password
  3. Set daily mail limit (start low on new infrastructure)
  4. Save → Send test to verify

Google

  1. Accounts → Add account → Google
  2. Complete OAuth consent
  3. Account appears with your Google email as sender
Tokens refresh automatically. Mailofly requests offline access so sends continue without re-auth.

Domain relay

  1. Verify a domain under Domains first
  2. Accounts → Add account → Domain sender
  3. Pick the verified domain, set From email and optional display name
Mail sends through Amazon SES with DKIM signing on your domain.

Account key

Each account exposes a public acc_… key on the Accounts page. Optional for Emails API calls (auto-selects an account when omitted):

Quota & deferral

When a campaign exceeds an account’s daily limit:
  1. Remaining recipients get mail_logs.status = deferred
  2. They send automatically the next calendar day
  3. Or add another account to increase today’s capacity
Google accounts are capped at 500 sends/day. Plan multi-account rotation for larger blasts.
