Use your own email gateway for notifications

Question

Can I use my own email system for outgoing emails?

Answer

Yes, but it requires SMTP support plus DNS records.

DKIM

Create two CNAME records:

1. Name: mte1._domainkey.yourdomain.com → Value: dkim1.mandrillapp.com

2. Name: mte2._domainkey.yourdomain.com → Value: dkim2.mandrillapp.com

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain.

DMARC

Create a TXT record:

• Host: _dmarc.yourdomain.com

• Value: v=DMARC1; p=none

TXT verification

Create a TXT record with the value:

mandrill_verify.PASTECODE

PASTECODE is provided by Support on request.

Configure in Admin Panel

In Admin Panel → Account Management → Email Gateways, configure:

• encryption type

• whether to trust all hosts

• SMTP host and port

• username/password

• sender email
