Do you offer a SMTP option?
For the majority of Content Solution members the default setting to send newsletters through RISMedia servers will be the easiest and preferred method. Members need do nothing. However occasionally we are asked by tech departments if we offer an SMTP option:
Yes! If your Content Solutions membership includes newsletters you will have the option to send these newsletters through your own server - see the SMTP Option in Settings area of your account.
It is recommended that only those with a thorough understanding of mail servers use the SMTP option as you will be accepting all responsibility for email management.
Those electing to use the SMTP option can only do so for a mail server that you control and that can receive and send bulk email without rate limiting. You cannot use Email Service Providers (like Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail) or your Internet Service Provider (like Verizon, Cablevison, ATT).
