How to use Mandrill to Send Emails From Your Own Email Address

November 8, 2022

NOTE- Yahoo users: 

In an attempt to stop fraudulent emails, Yahoo changed its DMARC authentication policy to reject emails that claim to come from yahoo.com but actually originate at non-Yahoo servers. So, do not use a yahoo user as your sender email address if you are to use Mandrill to setup Jotform email notifiers. Please read more about Yahoo and Mailchimp DMARC POLICY here


Now that it is now possible to send form emails using your own SMTP server, what if you do not have an SMTP account for your domain name? This tutorial helps you with that.

Mandrill, a service by Mailchimp, provides a free SMTP email sending option upto 12,000 emails per month.  We have tested our new SMTP service with Mandrill and it worked perfectly! 

First, create a free Mandrill account.
