JangoSMTP is a powerful, reliable platform for sending transactional email, whether you need a simple SMTP relay or the ability to integrate with an API. Trained specialists monitor shared IP addresses for sending to ensure your messages are delivered, and make dedicated IP addresses available for improved delivery. Every JangoMail account has access to our SMTP sending services. If you only need SMTP/transactional sending, you can sign up here.
JangoSMTP (or SMTP sending from your JangoMail account) offers two ways to send: an SMTP relay service for an easy, straightforward connection, and an API for more advanced integration that in addition to sending email, can pull reports and perform most account management operations otherwise seen in the user interface. Access the JangoSMTP user interface at any time to view your reports and change account settings. The choice between the two is determined by your need. Visit our API site at api.jangomail.com.
Connect to express-relay.jangosmtp.net on ports 25, 587, 2525 or 465, using your username and password. You can also authenticate via an IP address.
Transactional Groups are named groups that allow you to label different types of transactional emails and view reporting by the group name. This is useful for email marketers that send different types of transactional email. For example, you might have a group per email campaign or per email type such as “Order Confirmation” and another such as “Password Reset.” You can then see statistics on your emails on a per-group basis.

Yes. If you’d like to send email from multiple domains and servers through one account you may do so through both the SMTP relay and our API. You can view reporting for these domains separately by setting up Transactional Groups. Unsubscribes and bounces are managed on an account-wide basis. You can also use our master/subaccount setup via JangoMail, where each subaccount reflects your different sites/domains, and each subaccount having its own bounce and unsubscribe management.
JangoSMTP is the transactional side of JangoMail. JangoMail is a full-blown email marketing platform, designed for sending broadcast email campaigns as well as transactional email. JangoMail includes the functionality of JangoSMTP. JangoSMTP is just the SMTP service and transactional email API, and does not have the ability to store lists or message templates.
Although technically you can, we strongly discourage (and may restrict) using a public domain email address for your FROM address. Many providers will block your message if not using their services. For example, if you send to a yahoo.com recipient using your yahoo.com address, Yahoo will block that message from delivery since the sender (i.e., you) are not really sending via Yahoo. If you have your own domain name, use that with an SPF record and domain key from us. Contact us if you need help setting up these items.
Yes – this is our Transaction Event API feature. Using a script on your website that we access via a URL you provide, JangoSMTP can post sends, opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes, complaints and blocks to your web-accessible database.
