Documentation

Two API options are available. If you just want to set your SMTP server configuration to use Elastic Email as a relay use the SMTP API. If you are a developer building an application we recommend you use the REST API which is more flexible and more efficient than standard SMTP.

You may also use standard SMTP to deliver mail:
