Choose mail server

1. Click Set Up Accounts on the Send tab
2. Select your account and click Properties
3. Under Outgoing mail, choose between sending through your own SMTP (outgoing mail) server and sending directly from your desktop using RocketSales. Sending through your own SMTP server is recommended for highest deliverability.

Sending through external server

You may want to send through an external mail server for any of the following reasons:

• The highest percentage of messages will be successfully delivered without being inaccurately blocked by spam filters
• Your Internet service provider (ISP) requires you to use their server for anti-spam reasons
• You don't have a fixed IP address with mail server registration (MX record), so some ISPs may block mail from your PC
• You want to retain branding by sending through a company mail server such as mail.company.com

Direct send

Direct send is higher speed, but fewer messages will be successfully delivered. RocketSales' direct send feature is multithreaded, meaning it sends many messages at the same time.

How to configure

1. Click Set Up Accounts on the Send tab
2. Select your account and click Properties
3. Fill in your SMTP server name. Your ISP can give you the name of your SMTP server, usually smtp.YourISP.com or mail.YourISP.com.
4. (Optional) Fill in your login and password, if required by your ISP. Type the info your ISP gave you.
