Email / SMTP

Setting up Postmark as SMTP in QRACCESS

Connection details, how to get the credentials and exactly what to enter in the dashboard. Not sure which provider to pick? Start with the general SMTP guide.

Connection details

Server (host)	`smtp.postmarkapp.com`
Ports	587 (STARTTLS) · 25 · 2525
Username	the “Server API token”
Password	the SAME token (username and password are the same value)

How to get the credentials

Create a “Server” in Postmark for the event or company.
Verify your domain with the DKIM and return-path records it gives you.
The server’s API token goes as username AND password in QRACCESS.

What to enter in QRACCESS

In the dashboard: Settings → SMTP. Fill in Host and Port from the table above, pick the encryption to match the port (TLS for 587, SSL for 465), and enter Username and Password exactly as the table says — with some providers the “username” is a fixed word or an API key, not your email. Use a sender address on your verified domain and a recognisable sender name. Save, then use the test button with one of your own contacts before any bulk send.

Note: Obsessed with transactional deliverability (lightning-fast to the inbox). Paid after the 100 emails/month trial.

Deliverability: SPF and DKIM

Whatever the provider, verify your domain and publish the SPF and DKIM records it gives you: that is the difference between the inbox and the spam folder. Always run a single test before a bulk send.
