Sending email
Plume sends every campaign and confirmation email through your own mail credentials — nothing routes through a third-party service you don’t control. Configure this once in Settings → Mail.
Fields
Section titled “Fields”| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Provider | SMTP or Amazon SES (SMTP) |
| Host | Your SMTP host. For SES, use email-smtp.<region>.amazonaws.com. |
| Port | Typically 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (implicit TLS). |
| Username | Your SMTP username (for SES, the SMTP username from your SES SMTP credentials, not your AWS access key). |
| Password | Your SMTP password. Leave blank when editing to keep the currently saved password. |
| From address | The email address campaigns and confirmations send from. |
| From name | The display name recipients see. |
Amazon SES
Section titled “Amazon SES”SES doesn’t use your AWS access keys directly — generate a dedicated set of SMTP credentials
from the SES console and enter those as the username and password above, with host
email-smtp.<region>.amazonaws.com.
Send a test
Section titled “Send a test”After saving, use the Send a test email box on the same page to confirm delivery end to end before you send anything to real subscribers.
Match your from-address domain
Section titled “Match your from-address domain”Whichever provider you use, make sure the domain in your From address matches the domain you’ve verified and set up SPF/DKIM for at that provider. A mismatched domain is the most common reason mail lands in spam or gets rejected outright — check your provider’s domain verification settings if deliverability looks off.
