A dedicated sending domain gives you control over what appears to be coming from your business. That means you can avoid spam filters and other issues that might get your messages caught by unwanted mail servers.

Don't let your email marketing efforts go unnoticed! Get started right away with a dedicated sending domain.

What is a Dedicated Sending Domain?

A dedicated sending domain allows you to send emails that appear to be coming from your brand, which can help you maintain a better reputation with email services. Any account or user can create a dedicated sending domain, and it's quick and easy.

By default, all emails sent from the platform will show the name of the email-sending servers in the "sent on behalf of" or "sent via" email headers:

If your sending domain is listed below, you are using the email system's default domains:

• mg.yourdomain.org
• mg.yourdomain.net
• replies001.yourdomain.com
• replies.yourdomain.com
• replies000.yourdomain.com
• ec1.yourdomain.org
• ec1.yourdomain.net

When you set up your own custom mail server domain, you will see a different "mailed-by," "sent on behalf," or "sent via" field.
