  • Add video to email

    All video links are converted to high-quality GIFs –  even if the video gets deleted or made private, your newsletter will still contain the video.

    If you are using a Youtube link, the privacy settings of the uploading party could prevent you from successfully inserting the video.

    When copying the URL from Youtube, make sure to copy the URL from the Address bar of your browser.

    In most cases, the process of uploading a video might take up to 2 minutes, depending on the length of the original video.

    That’s it!

  • Non-business sender email restriction

    Free email address services usually have DMARC policies in place that are meant to prevent email scams but can cause delivery issues for legitimate businesses. Since you don’t own the domain, you do not have control over that domain’s delivery policies. Therefore, at Sender it‘s mandatory to use your own business email address as the sending address to boost deliverability and prevent delivery problems.

    For example, if you would use [email protected] as the sender’s email address, the recipients’ mail server might identify your message as spam and move it to the SPAM folder or reject (bounce) your message completely.

    How DMARC Applies to a Sender Identity

    You will be asked to authenticate a domain when sending an email via a service provider such as SENDER. All major mail providers such as Google, Microsoft, and others implement DMARC to protect their customers and prevent abuse.

    Let’s use Google’s Gmail and the email address [email protected] as an example.

    Gmail has SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies. These DNS records include only domains and IP addresses that Google specifically designates as belonging to Gmail. 

    When you send a message from [email protected] to [email protected] using SENDER, Yahoo mail server will then look up Gmail’s SPF and DKIM records because Google is the domain in the return-path message header.

    The Yahoo receiving server will determine that the message was sent using a SENDER IP address and was not signed by Google’s private key. Both SPF and DKIM will fail, causing Yahoo email to employ the DMARC failure policy specified by Google.

    Basically, Yahoo, or any other receiving email server, has no way of knowing whether you are using SENDER to send an email for legitimate purposes or spoofing Gmail’s domain.

    That’s why SENDER imposes authenticating a domain. The SENDER domain authentication method provides CNAME records that you place on your domain to approve SENDER’S IP addresses. In addition to that, it will automatically manage your SPF and DKIM records, protecting your domain’s reputation.

    Many of the popular email providers implement DMARC, including:

    • AOL
    • Gmail
    • Microsoft (Hotmail, MSN)
    • Outlook
    • Yahoo
    • And many others

    That’s it!

  • Find SPF/DKIM/DMARC parameters

    You need to include Sender.net SPF, DKIM and DMARC parameters in your Domain DNS settings. 

    How does SPF work?

    SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS text entry that provides a list of servers that should be considered allowed to send emails for a specific domain. SPF follows the below steps to ensure the security of your email-sending domains.

    • Your DNS has SPF records that list all of your domain’s authorized IP addresses or servers.
    • Whenever an email is sent from your domain, the receiving email server checks these records.
    • If the sender’s IP address (or server) matches one on the list, the email is authenticated. Emails that pass SPF authentication can reach their destination inboxes, while those that fail might not.

    How does DKIM work?

    • An email sent from your domain is signed with your private key. 

    • To verify the signature, the receiving email server retrieves the public encryption key found in the DKIM records on your DNS. Authentication occurs if the signature and key pairs match.

    • If an attacker tried to modify the email during transit, this signature would fail to verify. 

    • The receiving server would see this as evidence of tampering and mark the email, protecting the end receiver from a potentially malicious email.

    You can see SPF, DKIM, DMARC values in the “Domains” branch of the “Settings” section.

    Include these records into your provider’s DNS settings – when you’re done with the implementation, come back to the domains section and click “Set up DNS records” and “Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC record“. If records were embedded correctly, you will see green checkmarks.

    Here’s a video tutorial on how to find and re-verify these records once added:

    Each hosting solution has a different interface and various methods for configuring SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

    We have specific guides to some of the most common host pages on our site as:

     

    We have also collected some links to the most popular hosting solutions and supporting articles on how it’s done.

    Please find your hosting provider:

    If you could not find your hosting provider on the list, please contact your hosting provider directly for support.

  • Reasons account is suspended

    An account is usually suspended because it does not comply with our anti-spam policy. The most common reasons could be:

    • More than 0.15% spam complaint rate
    • More than 5% bounce rate
    • More than 1% unsubscribe rate

    Another frequent reason may be because of the sent content. We strictly prohibit these types of content:

    • Affiliate marketing
    • Gambling, betting
    • Forex, stock trading tips, “get rich quick”, “work at home”, etc.
    • Pornography, escorts, dating services
    • Drugs, male enhancement pills, etc.
    • Email campaigns for multiple companies to the same list (“solo email ads”)
    • Loans

    That’s it!

  • Troubleshoot test email sending

    If you cannot send a test email you have probably exceeded the limit of 10 test emails per hour to prevent abuse. Simply wait a bit for the counter to reset. Usually the limit resets in 30-60 minutes, depending on how many test emails you’ve sent so far.

     If that does not happen, get in touch via live support or email us at [email protected].

  • Understand test email feature

    Sometimes, you might want to send yourself a test version of the campaign you’re creating before sending it out to your subscribers. We call it the Test email.

    We allow you to send up to 10 test emails per hour to prevent abuse. As they are not counted into your total sent emails, testing your campaign will not cause you to go over your email limit. 

    You can send a test email from the design part of the email campaign creation:

    You can also send a test email directly from the Drag and Drop editor:

    Lastly, you can send a test email from the last step before sending the actual campaign to your selected subscriber group:

    If you notice any inconsistencies between the campaign you created and the test email you received, you can also test by sending the actual campaign to yourself only. This would require you to add yourself to a separate group and choose that group as the recipients of the campaign.

    If th issues are still consistent, please do not hesistate to contact support for further help.
