SMTP Relay: Fast and easy setup

What is SMTP?

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard protocol used to send, receive, or relay outgoing messages between email senders and receivers. It is the most commonly used protocol for email sending.

When should you use SMTP?

If you're already using SMTP in your application or only need a simple integration, ZeptoMail's SMTP relay is the quickest way to get you started. With SMTP, you can do away with the bells and whistles to integrate your application in just a few steps.

Sending emails using SMTP

Using SMTP relay to send your transactional emails is as simple as copying credentials from ZeptoMail and entering it into your application or platform.

Track Recipient Activity

Use metadata to track opens and clicks on emails sent using SMTP. You can then view this data in your ZeptoMail account or use webhooks to get instant notifications.

Secure Connection

Security is one of the cornerstones of ZeptoMail. To ensure complete safety of your email data, we only support TLS v1.2 for data transfer between the application and servers.
