On paid plans (Starter, Pro, Agency), TrekMail handles the technical heavy lifting of email delivery for you. We manage the IP reputation, warm-up, and feedback loops so you don't have to.

Who this is for

  • Users on Starter, Pro, or Agency plans.
  • Anyone who doesn't want to pay for a separate SMTP service like Mailgun or SendGrid.

How it works

When you send an email (via Webmail or Outlook), it goes through our high-reputation server cluster.

  1. Zero Setup: No API keys or external accounts needed.
  2. Reputation Management: We monitor your bounce rates and pause sending if things look risky, protecting your domain from blacklists.
  3. Authentication: We sign your mail with the DKIM keys you set up during domain verification.

Connection Details

When setting up your email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.), use these specific settings for Managed SMTP:

  • Server Host: smtp.trekmail.net
  • Port: 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS)
  • Username: Your full mailbox address (you@yourdomain.com)
  • Password: Your mailbox password

Eligibility

  • Free Plan: Not available. You must use Custom SMTP (BYO).
  • Paid Plans: Included automatically. Limits vary by plan tier.

Common mistakes

  • Symptom: "Authentication Failed" on port 465.
    • Fix: Ensure you are using the mailbox password, not the account password.
  • Symptom: "Sending Paused".
    • Cause: You exceeded your daily limit or had a high bounce rate. Check the Overview page for alerts.
