Sending accounts

What it is

Each account stores connection details for either SMTP (your own or provider’s mail server) or Google (OAuth to Gmail / Google Workspace). Campaign sends pick one or more accounts according to limits and availability.

How it helps

• Deliverability control — use domains and IPs you already trust with your ESP or workspace.
• Quota awareness — daily send limits per account help avoid sudden blocks; Mailofly tracks usage per day.
• Multi-brand setups — separate accounts for different “from” domains or teams.

How to use it in the app

Open Accounts in the app. Add an account with the wizard: choose SMTP or Google, enter host/credentials or complete OAuth, and set a friendly name. You can add several accounts; when sending a campaign you can restrict which accounts are used or let Mailofly choose.

SMTP vs Google

SMTP works with almost any provider (SendGrid SMTP, Amazon SES, cPanel, etc.) as long as you have host, port, username, and password. Google is ideal if your mail already goes out through Gmail or Workspace; OAuth avoids storing your Google password in Mailofly.

How this differs from “just using Mailchimp”

Many all-in-one tools host sending on their shared infrastructure only. Mailofly lets you bring your own transport: you keep contracts, reputation, and compliance boundaries with your provider while still using segments, templates, and campaigns in one place.
