With Postal<\/a>, you send emails from your application via SMTP or API and receive delivery responses back. Stable and secure on Swedish servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started with Postal, you need to make some settings in the service. As soon as it is ordered and paid for, you will receive access to the login details for the web interface where you can manage all the settings for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that you need to make the necessary settings on your website or in the platform you plan to send the emails from. This is not covered in our guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start sending emails with Postal, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Begin by\u00a0logging on to Postal\u2019s control panel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Then create a mail server according to the instructions here:
    Create mail server<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Next, you need to add a sender domain from which the mailings will go out. This is done as described in the following guide:
    Add your domain to Postal<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Once this is done, you will also need to create login credentials that will be used to authenticate the mailing. We describe that process here:
    Create credentials<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Settings in your application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can integrate Postal into your application in two ways. Either you choose to use SMTP or to connect directly to our API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if you use WordPress, we recommend that you choose SMTP. If you are integrating into your own application, we recommend choosing the API. You can read more about the differences here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
