Beyond email forwarding: How ImprovMX SMTP enhances your email workflow
By Antoine Minoux
ImprovMX started as an email forwarding service, but with SMTP sending, it's become a complete email solution. Here's how SMTP transforms your email workflow.
What is ImprovMX SMTP?
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) allows you to send emails from your custom domain address. Instead of just receiving forwarded emails, you can reply and compose messages as yourname@yourdomain.com.
Why it matters
Without SMTP, replies from your personal email expose your real address. With ImprovMX SMTP, every email you send appears to come from your professional domain.
How to set it up
- Create SMTP credentials in your ImprovMX dashboard
- Add DKIM and DMARC DNS records for authentication
- Configure your email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird) with the SMTP settings
Key features
- DKIM signing for improved deliverability
- DMARC compliance
- Works with any email client that supports SMTP
- Multiple SMTP credentials per domain
Use cases
- Freelancers maintaining a professional image
- Startups needing branded email on a budget
- Developers who want email infrastructure without the complexity
Available on
SMTP sending is available on Premium and Pro plans.
