Email campaigns settings

Email sending settings

Before you can send Email campaigns, you need to configure the email service. You can send your campaigns using a standard SMTP server. 

By default, if you have configured the Sitefinity CMS email settings, the Email campaigns module will send notifications using the default notification profile. For more information about configuring Sitefinity CMS email settings, see Configure email settings.

Configure a notification profile

The Email campaigns module relies on the Notification service for sending emails. To use it, you must configure the notification profile that you want to use. There you configure the SMTP server settings and, if you want to send emails in batches, you can set the batch size and the pause interval between batches. For more information, see Configure notification profiles.

If you want to explicitly specify a notification profile for the Email campaigns modulefollow these steps:

  1. In the main menu, click Administration » Settings » Advanced.
  2. In the treeview on the left, click Newsletters.
  3. In the Notifications SMTP Profile textbox, type the name of the notification profile you want to be used to send emails for the Email campaigns module. If you do not fill in a name explicitly, the default notification profile is used.
  4. Click Save changes.

Configure the advanced track bounced messages settings

  1. In the main menu, click Administration » Settings » Advanced.
  2. In the treeview on the left, click Newsletters.
  3. In Collect bounces every (minutes), enter the length of interval in minutes that the system will collect bounce messages from the POP3 account.

  5. In Bounced messages retry interval, enter the length of interval in minutes that the system will retry to send soft bounced messages.
  6. In Bounced messages retry count, enter the number of times that the system will retry to send soft bounced messages.
