You can set up SMTP2GO as the go-to SMTP provider on your email software (like Gmail or Outlook) to send your outgoing emails.<\/p>\n<h3>Why would you need a tool like SMTP2GO?<\/h3>\n<p>Here are its two key benefits:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Better Email Deliverability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you send a high volume of transactional or marketing emails, you might trigger a lot of spam filters in email providers like Outlook, Yahoo, and especially corporate email servers.<\/p>\n<p>By using an SMTP service, you get a higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/young-entrepreneur-council\/how-to-improve-your-email-deliverability-rate.html?cid=search\">email deliverability<\/a> rate for all your outgoing emails.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of you having to rely on your default SMTP servers, SMTP2GO uses its <strong>own<\/strong> SMTP servers to help you send high-volume emails easily. This often helps outgoing emails to avoid being labeled as spam by spam filters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Higher Email Limits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SMTP2GO can even bypass email limits placed on users by an email client (like Gmail or Microsoft Outlook) or an ISP (Internet Service Provider).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tool also has a built-in email tracker that will give you real-time updates on how recipients interact with your emails.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to connecting with an SMTP relay, you can use its WordPress plugin setup through the control panel on your WordPress site. You can also create different user accounts on SMTP2GO so that your whole team can access it easily.<\/p>\n<p>Also, SMTP2GO is known for its ease of use.<\/p>\n<p>(However, if you&#8217;re an advanced web developer and you&#8217;d like to customize your SMTP setup, read my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/smtp-services-review\/#smtp2go\">technical review of SMTP2GO<\/a> to get a feel for that landscape.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confused about what SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is?\u00a0<a id=\"features\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/smtp\/\">comprehensive guide<\/a> to understand the protocol easily.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Three Key Features of the SMTP2GO Service<\/h2>\n<p>To understand how the www.smtp2go.com service can help you, we\u2019ll dive into three key features in this SMTP2GO review:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Email Authentication<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that there are tons of scams being carried out through email today. And that leaves businesses at risk of having their accounts compromised, and their recipients at risk of receiving malicious emails.<\/p>\n<p>To boost sender reputation, an SMTP2GO account comes with an <strong>email authentication<\/strong> feature that will help your business send authorized emails.<\/p>\n<p>It uses two security mechanisms known as <strong>SPF<\/strong> (Sender Policy Framework) and <strong>DKIM<\/strong> (Domain Keys Identified Mail) to authenticate your emails.<\/p>\n<p><em>So how do SPF and DKIM work?<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>A. Sender Policy Framework (SPF)<\/h4>\n<p>SPF is a security mechanism that <strong>validates<\/strong> the IP addresses and web applications that send emails from a specific domain. For example, the SPF associated with your domain has a database of IP addresses and applications that are <strong>authorized<\/strong> to send emails using your domain name.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here\u2019s how SPF works:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When anyone sends an email, it first arrives at the SMTP mail server, and then the SPF authentication process is carried out. If anyone sends an email from an IP address or application that is not listed in your SPF records, it\u2019s rejected by the server.<\/p>\n<h4>B. Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM)<\/h4>\n<p>DKIM is a process that encrypts any outgoing emails for security reasons. To ensure that nobody else can access these emails, they can <strong>be decrypted only<\/strong>\u00a0by the receiver\u2019s email server.<\/p>\n<p>These authentication measures by the SMTP2GO SMTP service help protect your outgoing email from being altered or intercepted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13336\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1.png\" alt=\"SMTP2GO Website showing DKIM and SPF authentication\" width=\"900\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1.png 900w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview1-48x25.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Automatically Deals with Technical Aspects of Your Emails<\/h3>\n<p><em>Have you heard of blacklist monitoring and ISP throttling?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What about a reverse DNS lookup?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what these key email concepts mean:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blacklist Monitoring<\/strong>: Refers to monitoring networks to check if a specific IP address or domain name has been blacklisted by ISPs or blacklist databases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISP<\/strong> <strong>Throttling<\/strong>: The intentional slowing down of broadband speeds by the ISP to reduce a user\u2019s bandwidth usage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reverse DNS Lookup<\/strong>: The querying of the DNS to find the domain name related to an IP address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you use the SMTP2GO email service, it takes care of things like blacklist monitoring, ISP throttling, manual reverse DNS lookups, blocked ports, feedback loops, bounce rates, and so much more!<\/p>\n<p>If you were to use a private SMTP server, you\u2019d have to worry about identifying and dealing with all these email challenges yourself and then manually contact your ISP about them.<\/p>\n<p>However, with SMTP2GO, all you have to do is set it up and send your emails. SMTP2GO monitors the network <strong>constantly<\/strong> and will identify, resolve, and inform you of any issues that may be blocking your outgoing emails.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13337\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2.png\" alt=\"SMTP2GO website showing activity tracking reports\" width=\"900\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2.png 900w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2-36x18.png 36w, https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/smtp2goreview2-48x25.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Multiple Server Systems Around the World to Enable Fast Email Delivery<\/h3>\n<p>A stand-out feature of SMTP2GO is how dedicated they are to keep their SMTP relay servers up and running.<\/p>\n<p>They have <strong>multiple<\/strong> email server systems in cities like Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, and Sydney \u2014 all connected to their headquarters in Christchurch, New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>However, that isn\u2019t all.<\/p>\n<p>SMTP2GO also has <strong>two<\/strong> data centers \u2014 one in Amsterdam and one in New York \u2014 that allow you to store data related to emails. They even let you pick the data center to store your data, as that can also play a role in boosting your email delivery.<\/p>\n<p>These SMTP2GO features, which are part of a robust data network and infrastructure, allow SMTP2GO to provide an SMTP email service with <strong>virtually no downtime<\/strong>.

Free Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for sending 1,000 emails\/month<\/li>\n<li>5 days of email reporting<\/li>\n<li>Customer support via tickets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2.

No Support for A\/B Testing<\/h3>\n<p><em>Are you familiar with A\/B testing?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the process of sending an email to one small set of subscribers and a variation of that email to another small set of subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>performance<\/strong> of these emails is then analyzed, and the version of the email with the most engagements (i.e., the one that performs best) is sent to all the other subscribers on your list.<\/p>\n<p><em>Why is this important?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can use <strong>A\/B testing<\/strong> to analyze which email elements are the most engaging.<\/p>\n<p>You can test:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Different subject lines<\/li>\n<li>Variations within the actual content of the email<\/li>\n<li>Links within the email<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can then optimize emails to increase the:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open rate<\/li>\n<li>Response rate<\/li>\n<li>Click-through rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the <strong>SMTP2GO service doesn\u2019t support in-built A\/B testing<\/strong>, which is a drawback if you want to test mass emails before you send them.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to test your outgoing email to increase engagement, you\u2019ll have to obtain a separate email management software to conduct A\/B testing.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Lacks a Built-In Contact Database<\/h3>\n<p><em>When you want to send emails to a list of recipients, it\u2019s essential to maintain a contact database, right?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Normally, a mail service includes a built-in <strong>contact storing system<\/strong> that helps users send mass emails to each recipient&#8217;s inbox easily. The contact database of such an email message service can be updated individually or through CSV files.<\/p>\n<p>Some SMTP service providers even use automated signup forms that can add email addresses to your contact database according to specific criteria.<\/p>\n<p>However, the <strong>SMTP2GO platform doesn\u2019t support a contact database of its own.<\/strong> You can\u2019t use it to send mass emails to a customer list or any other contact database.<\/p>\n<p>This can be problematic as you\u2019ll have to utilize SMTP2GO for your SMTP server setup and then spend for <strong>another<\/strong> tool that provides contact storing and the ability to send mass emails.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Expensive Pricing Plans<\/h3>\n<p><em>You\u2019d expect a tool like SMTP2GO to be pretty affordable, right?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After all, it doesn\u2019t support essential features like A\/B testing, template management, or a contact database.<\/p>\n<p>However, smtp2go.com isn\u2019t what you\u2019d call a cheap SMTP relay service, and if you run a small business, it probably wouldn\u2019t make sense to invest in a tool like SMTP2GO.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, some of those plans cost upwards of $500 per month! That\u2019s an annual expense of $6,000 for a tool that lacks essential features.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, SMTP2GO has a free version, but with very <strong>limited<\/strong> functionality.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"sendgrid\"><\/a>For around the same amount you\u2019d spend on SMTP2GO, you can find other SMTP providers that offer <strong>more<\/strong> features, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/287227\">email campaign<\/a> designers, viewing reports, and template management capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2>An Alternative SMTP Provider for Your Investment<\/h2>\n<p><em>Now that you know the pros and cons of SMTP2GO, do you think investing in it is worthwhile?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While it can offer some interesting features, this outgoing email service does lack some essentials that other tools in the same price range include.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, we have a great suggestion for an alternative SMTP provider \u2014 <strong>SendGrid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>SendGrid is a tool that comes bundled with everything you need to optimize your emails for the highest deliverability and engagement rates.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alexkonrad\/2019\/02\/01\/why-twilio-acquired-sendgrid\/\">SendGrid<\/a> is a great alternative to SMTP2GO:<\/p>\n<h3>1. It Offers Better Value for Money<\/h3>\n<p>Twilio SendGrid is an SMTP provider used by large and small companies around the world.<\/p>\n<p>It offers a free plan for its users, but the features that come with its paid plans make SendGrid one of the most <strong>reasonable<\/strong> SMTP providers out there.<\/p>\n<p>SendGrid pricing plans are split into two main categories:<\/p>\n<h4>A. Email API Plans<\/h4>\n<p>This category focuses on a website and app integration that can send transactional emails through the SendGrid email delivery service.<\/p>\n<p>The paid plans start at $14.95\/month and offer features like template editors, conditional testing, and email delivery optimization.<\/p>\n<h4>B. Marketing Email Campaign Plans<\/h4>\n<p>This category is aimed at email marketers and helps users design an attractive email marketing campaign. Paid plans start at $15\/month and offer features like A\/B testing, audience segmentation, and design and code editors.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these plans can offer your business a ton of functionality and help you send mail volumes so high that it\u2019ll feel like they&#8217;re unlimited!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for email software that can help you track email performance and boost revenue, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/email-tracking-software\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2. Easy Onboarding<\/h3>\n<p><em>What\u2019s the point of investing in an email service provider if you don\u2019t know how to use it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>An SMTP provider deals with a ton of technical configurations for things like SMTP relay, authentication methods, and sending limits.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how well these tools handle such technical factors (like the connection to the SMTP relay server and SMTP authentication), it\u2019s important that all this is <strong>easily accessible and manageable<\/strong> for you.<\/p>\n<p>SendGrid provides some of the best training resources available to its users, including <strong>video tutorials<\/strong>, so you know exactly how to make the best use of your SMTP provider.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gmass\"><\/a>They even provide advice on how you can use SendGrid to manage mail campaigns better, helping you reach more prospects and boost revenue.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Way to Add Functionality to Your SMTP Service<\/h2>\n<p>Irrespective of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol provider you choose, one fact remains: it\u2019s primarily going to be an SMTP service tool \u2014 not a fully-fledged email marketing tool.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one reason why it\u2019s a good idea to always use an SMTP service provider <strong>alongside<\/strong> a dedicated email marketing tool.<\/p>\n<p><em>But which marketing tool should you use for your emails?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple: just use GMass!<\/p>\n<p><strong>GMass<\/strong> is an email software service that works directly with your <strong>chosen<\/strong> SMTP relay
