I highly suggest using them plus the app Mandrill Bouncer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked fine with mailjet, but mailjet has these ugly limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked fine with mailjet, but mailjet has these ugly limits.I would look into why they are being rejected and fix that rather than switch to Google SMTP. There could be some configuration quirk that Outlook.com/Hotmail.com is looking for but isn't there. Mandrill is one of the largest senders of this sort of bulk mail in the world... there has to be a solution for Hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i don't understand it. All settings looks properly to me... It makes no sense that only hotmail rejects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

不中用 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 .Do you have a new domain? or new email accounts?Hotmail is very sensitive about that .. best tip is to get some people/friends to fill in the "trusted sender" in hotmail / live online ..Then your emails will pass hotmail hell mail gate and everything will start at this point .. Hotmail will start to screen/flag your emails as "not junk" & not block completely .. it will take a few weeks to get it going for people that didn't have you in their "trusted sender" list .. and be sure you not start sending emails that you will think your members will but in their spam folder .. otherwise it's going bad .. .
