Sending Profile

Your sending profile is used to manage email authentication such as DKIM, DMARC and SPF along with branded link URLs and bounce addresses. SMTPD has an opinionated sending setup that brings better deliverability.

Sending Profiles are critical to email deliverability and are continuously validated by the SMTPD platform. If any DNS records are removed OR incorrectly altered, your sending profile will be set into a "pending" and all sending will fail for any messages linked to that sending profile.

Create sending profile

POST https://api.smtpd.dev/api/v1/profile/email

This endpoint allows you to create a new sending profile, you can add as many sending profiles as needed. Every sending profile is continuously validated, if any DNS records are missing the sending profile will be placed into a pending state, if that remains for longer than 72hrs the sending profile will be disabled and eventually deleted.
