SMTP relay

Point any application or mail client at the Axene Mailer SMTP relay and send authenticated, signed email with no code changes.

The SMTP relay is a standard authenticated SMTP server. If your app or client already speaks SMTP, you can switch to Axene by changing the host, port and credentials. No code changes.

Use cases

  • Point an existing app that already speaks SMTP at Axene with no rewrite.
  • Send from WordPress, Laravel, Django or any framework mailer.
  • Replace an unreliable office relay with authenticated, DKIM-signed delivery.

Step 1: Verify your domain

SMTP credentials can only be created for a verified domain, so that SPF, DKIM and DMARC are in place. See Domain setup.

Step 2: Create SMTP credentials

  1. In the dashboard, go to Settings -> SMTP Credentials.
  2. Click Create and pick a verified domain.
  3. Copy the generated username and password. The password is shown only once.

Step 3: Configure your client
