Emails sent via JungleMail built-in mail server appear as external. It is highly recommended to whitelist the built-in server's IP address so that your newsletters are not rejected as spam and enable automatic image downloading to have accurate analytics data.
By default, the built-in server uses @jmcloudpost.com domain as your From address. To use the server with your own domain, you need to authorize the app in your DNS by creating a DKIM record. Please contact us for detailed instructions.
SMTP server
Send newsletters with JungleMail using an outgoing mail server of your choice.
JungleMail Mail Server
This is an option for our Australian,UK, EU, or Canada cloud users to send newsletters using the JungleMail SMTP server. By default the JungleMail Mail server will use the @jmpost.com domain as your "From" address. Check out our article on how to send emails from your own domain and in which regions it is available.
Adding a sending account
To authorize a new sending account to be used in JungleMail for Office 365:
1. Open the app, click the gear icon, then click Sending Accounts.
2. Select Create new sending account, then select an account type from the drop-down menu.
3. Log into the selected account, review the additional options (may vary depending on the account type), then click Save.
4. At the bottom of the account page, you can select whether other JungleMail for Office 365 users in your organization can add Office 365 sending accounts and (or) share their own Office 365 sending accounts. Furthermore, you can set the app so that it selects a user's personal Office 365 account as a primary account instead of a default one.
Adding a sending address
You can have one or several sending addresses associated with a sending account. To add a new sending address:
1. Under your sending account, click Add new sending address.
2. Specify the From and Reply-to addresses (they can differ from the campaign author's address) and, optionally, send a test email.
Sending from another user's account
If you want to send emails from the account of a different user or a shared mailbox, you will need to have their mailbox permissions. If you are the Office 365 admin you can do this yourself. Please refer to our article.
Selecting a default sending address
If you have several sending addresses, you can select a default one. It will be selected automatically when you start a new campaign.
1. Hover over the logo of the sending address of your choice.
2. Click on the grey checkbox that appears. It will turn from grey to green.
